Hello friend!
Welcome back to Anonymous Grocer, a 30-day audio adventure in backwards poetry. Each day: a new poem, a new collection of words in unfamiliar and spiraling patterns, a new audio message to ease you into your day.
On this fine Day 9, I present you with the Korean-American poet, Jihyun Yun. After listening to today’s episode, I encourage you to pick up a copy of her collection, Some Are Always Hungry. Through recipes, rationing, and animal dismemberment, Yun presents a reclamation of identity and womanhood. She uses food in all its mythical and visceral manifestations to expose and interrogate the inequalities and sacrifices, the leavings and desires that propel humans to protect one another and tear each other apart.

Do you have requests for poems or poets you’d like to see featured in future Anonymous Grocer episodes? I’d love to hear from you!
Peace and love,
Cam
