Description: In his poetry collection, Flatfish, Moon Tae-jun offers an aesthetic that emphasizes the author's exploration of the inner self. At times sparse and allusive, his poems use blank space and other stylistic considerations to convey a voice and thought that ranges from the contemplative to the surreal and absurd. Moon's poems suggest Buddhist ideologies, natural images, and Korean temples.

Review Quotes: "From a wild persimmon tree next to a tin-roofed house to a waning crescent moon being filled like well water, Flatfish transports us into an irresistible world. Park's translation captures a shifting landscape and the poetic voice that asks and answers the question, where will we go from here?"--Su Cho "author of The Symmetry of Fish"
