The Sum of Breathing
The Sum of Breathing | Brenda Kwon
1 post | 1 to read
Fiction. Poetry. Asian American Studies. Women's Studies. THE SUM OF BREATHING, a collection of stories, poems, memoir, and spoken word, trenchantly explores the inheritances of memory, loss, feminism, racism, and place. The collection explores life, family, and love as a Korean American with a keen eye for detail and with elegant, restrained language that reads like classical music.

#Aprella #ItsAShame 🌺It's a shame that this is the first year I've taken a poetry session at the writers workshop I went to last weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed myself & our instructor-the author of this book. Poetry can intimidate me, but she made it easy & fun. The theme was defamiliarization & we did yoga breathing, wrote from our least-preferred sense, made blackout poems & wrote about images from the below tagged book. Her book is lovely too.

Cinfhen Sounds like a wonderful experience and I love the photo! I know you‘ve taken these workshops before, are u hoping to publish one day or is it more for yourself?! 6y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Hah! Mahalo! I look at the photo and think that I really should have ironed the scarf. 😆 I go to this one (this was my fourth year) mainly because I love learning and discovering local authors and it helps even with my work writing and blog, but you never know. There may be a book in me someday. 😉 6y
