Asterism: Poems

Ae Hee Lee's Asterism is a sweeping tour de force of a collection. In this stunning debut, mouths eat, name, translate, dream, kiss. If we are what we eat, then, in these pages, the poet is everything. The body is a chestnut, the country a walnut, and homesickness a woman licking a spoon. Moreover, the poet's mouth is a conduit to 'an inward- / stretching universe of lungs / and dark matter.' And Lee's breath, which moves visibly over these poems, carries us into constellations of possibilities and light. -Wendy Chen, author of Unearthings
