These three women poets shock and delight, entertain and de-familiarize, corrupt and contaminate traditional readings and stereotypical definitions of Asian women, Asian poetry, Asian-ness. While K-pop girl groups sell cuteness, marketing the female body as an object to be consumed by the male gaze, poems by these three women reveal how that manufactured cuteness is a state of acute deformity. If the male gaze strips the female body of significant social agency through a loss of authenticity or aura, these poets give us a world that shuts down the power behind that gaze. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis tenth volume in the Asia Pacific Series from Vagabond Press presents three essential women's voices in contemporary world literature with a selection of work from Kim Yideum, Kim Haengsook \u0026amp; Kim Min Jeong and gives English-language readers new access to the hybridity of genre and style representative of Korea's (\"Future Wave\") poets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKim Min-Jeong \u003c\/strong\u003ewas born in Inchon in 1976, received a B.A. in creative writing from Chung'ang University and studied at the graduate school of the same university.
