{"product_id":"ossia-jimin-seo-9781068644627","title":"OSSIA","description":"In this extraordinary, passionate debut poetry collection, Jimin Seo takes up a material we think we recognize – language – and transforms it through permutation, history, and translation into a lyrical and alien terrain. Seo takes up both Korean and English, drawing them across multiple experiences of relation – none of them equivalence. Translation and re-translation triangulate to form the ghostly third other which defines every relationship of two. Fragmentation, riff, homophony, and analogy sprawl like cuttings from a plant, yielding poems that grow in defiant new directions. This is a book calling to a mother, a teacher, lovers, and ultimately a self whose elements materialise through language, even as the speaker laments what language cannot be or hold.","brand":"The 87 Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50815302304032,"sku":"9781068644627","price":12.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781068644627.jpg?v=1780760927","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/ossia-jimin-seo-9781068644627","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
