"A Temporary Dwelling" by Jiwon Choi

  • FiveMyles 558 St Johns Place Crown Heights, Brooklyn USA (map)

sunday, may 19, 5-7pm

Book Launch for Jiwon Choi’s third collection of poetry, A Temporary Dwelling, coming out from Spuyten Duyvil this June 2024.  A Temporary Dwelling probes the limits of utopia, exploding the myth of the American Dream.  Choi questions such complex notions as nation, truth, body, race, gender and genre, and in doing so she offers blueprints for our collective survival: by staying, by looking, by writing, by eating, by living, by laughing, by loving anyway.  

This book launch will feature an artist talk with artist Barbara Friedman, whose painting “Stroll” is the cover for the book.
