A Temporary Dwelling

<p><strong>Jiwon Choi doesn't hold back when it comes to the outer life we all deal with or the inner life with its particular wrenchings and beauties. Her tough-minded original poems-and her wonderful eye for detail-remind us that poems can be haunting whether they focus on chronic problems in our society or the death of someone close-or the kind of white bread that reminds you of flesh off the backside or that resides inner thigh.</strong></p>
