I Cut My Tongue on a Broken Country<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver: Arsenal Pulp Press, 2025.
forthcoming in March 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lotus flowers, youthful hunger, and other temporary beauties intertwine to tell this coming-of-age story, a set of pulsating poems that move toward a distant memory or a flaming future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyo Lee’s intimate debut poetry collection is simultaneously a vulnerable confession and a micro study of macro topics including lineage, family, war, and hope. i cut my tongue on a broken country<\/em> explores the Asian American diaspora, queerness, girlhood, and the relationships between and within them, pushing and pulling on the boundaries of identity and language like a story trying to tell itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
