Foreign Bodies: Poems by Kimiko Hahn

“with or without a charm
a little girl can fashion a mirror of her own” (70)

This collection is a fascinating meditation on the seemingly innocuous detritus of our lives. Some curios we swallow like children and others we place on pedestals. Sometimes an object gets lodged in our brains forever and sometimes we realize we’ve blocked out an object that had more meaning than we knew at the time.

Definitely an interesting read~

captured perfectly the hollow, nostalgic melancholy of returning to a home you don’t belong to anymore
