News at Eleven: Here's another from Yi [Yon-ju]'s poem

"What's Wrong?": "When the speculum was pushed deep into her lower belly/she felt a refreshing sensation as if she'd escaped from a stuffy subway."

The overall effect is a gripping mix of Plath and K-Horror, totally outside of the nationalist literature that [Don Mee] Choi tells us wants its female poets to "evoke something gentle and motherly."

from The Brooklyn Rail: Poetry: Whistling in the Wind
