Celebrate the launch of Winter Night Rabbit Worries (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2026) by Yoo Heekyung, translated from the Korean by Stine An. Structured as a series of stories, Yoo’s fifth poetry collection presents narrative and linguistic architectures that dissolve the opposition between those materials that construct the this and the that side of life—past and future, truth and falsehood, memory and fantasy. As readers move from one story to another, they will encounter a dizzying yet tender experience in which the boundaries between self and other unravel, and new stories begin to take shape. Join poet Yoo Heekyung and translator Stine An for a reading and Q&A on their collaborative translation process. This event will also feature readings from PIROWA PADOWA (Saturnalia Books, 2025) by Lee Jenny, translated from Korean by Archana Madhavan, and A Season (University of Georgia Press, 2026) by Michael Joseph Walsh.
Readings in Kray Hall with a reception to follow in the Viscusi Reading Room.
Also streamed on Zoom with link sent out day of the event.
