Highlights
The cover of Seattle poet Arlene Kim’s (see related article elsewhere in this
issue) new book beckons to us like a dark fairy tale hidden in a part of the
woods one would like to get lost in. Entitled “What have you done to our ears
to make us hear echoes?” (Milkweed Editions), the poems explore language
and memory and how we become exiles from our own true histories. The
author writes, “In this collection, I wanted to explore the ways that exiled
and immigrant diasporas end up with tangled roots, with forked and hybrid
histories. I wanted to create a space for the ghost of ‘home,’ the idea of home
and where we come from, ways we run from it and reasons we leave.” Hear
Kim spin her word magic in a reading with equally compelling Portland
poet Emily Kendal Frey on Friday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. Open Books at 2414
N. 45th St. in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. Call (206) 633-0811 or go to
