![]() ![]() ![]() In her introduction she writes, “Poetry is not just relief poetry is tension. For Yoon, poetry is the space to explore the history and impact of these narratives, as well as her own conflicts with language, identity and place. Her most urgent question: how do we live and move forward with the pain of these stories? She focuses on the pain of the women who survived and later testified to their treatment, but ties their stories into narrative poems about present-day aggressions, the complexities of language, nature and relationships. Yoon’s poems explore the inherent violence of humanity, juxtaposed against the world’s natural beauty. The collection asks questions more than it demands answers. ![]() Throughout the collection, Yoon is positioned as an anthropologist-poet and historian-blending poetry and research to retell and amplify the narratives of these women who lived and survived during Japanese imperial rule. ![]() In her debut collection, “A Cruelty Special to Our Species,” Emily Jungmin Yoon fuses art history and craft to explore the unresolved controversies of the Korean “comfort women” during the country’s colonial era under the Japanese Empire and the impact of violent histories on the minds and bodies of the present. ![]()

Although a few references to political figures of the time and some (but not all) of the concrete political demands put forward at the end of chapter 2 have been superseded by events, the great bulk of the text feels as if it could have been written only yesterday, with its explanation of the crushing power of the capitalist world market, the commodification of the labor and abilities of human beings, and the ever-growing divide between the rich and poor.

The inevitable renderings of Washington’s death by nineteenth-century artists often added religious symbols to the scene, frequently depicting his body ascending into heaven surrounded by a chorus of angels. His statement also calls attention to a missing presence at the deathbed scene: there were no ministers in the room, no prayers uttered, no Christian rituals offering the solace of everlasting life.
