BIOS / AUTHOR STATEMENT OF HISTORY

Myung Mi Kim est l'auteur de 5 livres et 2 plaquettes de poésie. Elle est traduite en espagnol, en coréen et maintenant en français par Abigail Lang. Ses poèmes ont paru dans des anthologies et des revues littéraires anglophones. Depuis 2002, Kim enseigne dans le faculté de "Poetics" à Buffalo à NY où elle a pris la direction du département depuis plusieurs années. Entre 1991-2001 elle enseigné dans le programme de Creative Writing à San Francisco State University en californie. Une série de textes critiques dédiées au travail de Myung Mi Kim ont été publié dans un numéro spécial de la revue Jacket 2: Jacket Feature on MMKim Egalement dédié au travail de Myung Mi Kim: "Building is a Process / Light is an element" des essais et des "excursions" faites pour Myung Mi Kim, disponible sur EPC: http://epc.buffalo.edu/authors/kim/building/

MYUNG MI KIM: b. 1957. Author of 7 books of poetry, and professor at Univ of Buffalo, NY, Myung Mi Kim is known for her strong explorations of history, personal and political narratives in fragmented space which open the page and the English language to the othernesses in all of us. As CJ Martin states, she "explores the problem of legibility: legibility of the book, of the subject, of the work of art. Kim’s work seeks “a relationship with readers that owns to and remains critical of the political and systematic nature of that encounter,” from books that construct their own grammar to lyric speech that explores the problem of silence to work that foregrounds practice as performance." (Jacket 2 sidebar intro) A large feature on her work, including criticism and a series of interviews, appeared on Jacket 2: here is a link to one of those works: http://jacket2.org/feature/myung-mi-kim Myung Mi Kim is the subject of the book The Subject of Building Is a Process / Light Is an Element: essays and excursions for Myung Mi Kim (2008) http://epc.buffalo.edu/authors/kim/building/. She has taught at San Francisco State University and in the Poetics Program at SUNY Buffalo.   Myung Mi Kim was born in Seoul, Korea. She immigrated with her family to the United States at the age of nine and was raised in the Midwest. She earned a BA from Oberlin College, an MA from The Johns Hopkins University, and an MFA from the University of Iowa. Her collection of poems Under Flag (1991) won the Multicultural Publishers Exchange Award of Merit; subsequent collections include The Bounty (1996), DURA (1999), Commons (2002), River Antes (2006), and Penury (2009).   Read below a full detailed bio/author statement on her history followed by a detailed publication bibliography:

MYUNG MI KIM:
An in depth biographical and publication history reflection:


  I am asked often whether my shift from one language to another (Korean to English) “made me into a poet.”  Over time I have realized that I invariably answer, “yes,” to this question. My body of work attempts to understand this “yes,” the heterogeneous meaning of this “yes.”
     I was nine years old when I immigrated to the U.S.  I did not know any English. There was a window of three months where I first began to understand English but could not speak it.  This ability to comprehend a language but not utter it, informs much of what comes into play in my thinking about language and poetry. In a sense, language “cracked open.”  Frightening, perhaps—but more, this fissure or rift has meant an enduring reflexive relationship to language for which I am grateful.
     A book of my poems, Under Flag, was awarded the Multicultural Publisher’s Exchange Award  of Merit in l992.  I held a residency at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program (1993) and received Awards from the Fund for Poetry (1994, 1995,1997) as well as three Gertrude Stein Awards for  Innovative North American Poetry (l994, 1995, 1996).  During 2006-07, I worked on a translation project with a grant from the Daesan Foundation.  I received but unfortunately had to decline a residency from the Djerassi Alumni Resident Artists Program (2008).  In 2009, I was the recipient of the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence  in Creative Activities.
     I have held faculty residencies across institutional lines, for example: Poet in Residence, Oberlin College (1995), Edelstein-Keller Writer in Residence, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN (1996), Tucson Poetry Festival (2001), Distinguished Poet in Residence, St. Mary’s College, Moraga, CA, (2001), Woodland Pattern Book Center, Milwaukee, WI (2002), Kootenay School of Writing, Vancouver, Canada (2002), George Mason University (2006), Naropa Summer Writing Program (2007), Kundiman Asian-American Poetry Retreat (2009), Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea (2009), Ewha University, Seoul, Korea (2010), Poet in Residence, University of Utah (2011), Writer in Residence, Lower Manhattan Culture Council, New York, NY (2011-15).
     Broadly speaking, my work as a poet investigates otherness in gendered and raced power relations, and in the contact zones between nations, cultures, and languages. My most recent book of poems, Penury, appeared from Omnidawn Publishing (2009).  Penury explores the interarticulation of transnational capital, forced displacement of populations around the globe, and ecological devastation.  For analysis on Penury: Hume, Angela.  “An Ecopoetics of the Limit: Myung Mi Kim’s ‘fell’” OmniVerse 38. http://omniverse.us/angela-hume-an-ecopoetics-of-the-limit/  (January 2014).
     Commons, my fourth book of poems, published by University of California Press in 2002, negotiates multidimensional time and disjunctive simultaneity to open up the textual space not simply to the social, historical, and political, but also to the unutterable, the silenced, and the erased.  For an in-depth study of Commons:  Keller, Lynn.  “Myung Mi Kim’s Visual Poetics of the Aggregate.”  Thinking Poetry:  Readings in Contemporary Women’s Exploratory Poetics. University of Iowa Press, 2010.
     My third book, DURA, was published in 1998.  A second printing appeared from Nightboat Books (2008) with an introduction by Juliana Spahr and an afterword by Stephen Hong Sohn.  Sohn provides a useful gloss of the critical work that has emerged in relation to DURA.
I offer up a handful of illuminating, but nevertheless divergent critical approaches to DURA.  First, Josephine Park’s “’Composed of Many Lengths of Bone’: Myung Mi Kim’s Reimagination of Image and Epic,” argues that Kim’s poetic influences draw from Ezra Pound, Walt Whitman, and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha.  Park’s contention suffices to expand the boundaries of what ShirleyGeok-lin Lim has called ethnopoetics by reminding critics of the complex webs that help structure the aesthetic projects of so called “minority” writers.  Zhou Xiaojing’s “’What Story What Story What Sound:  The Nomadic Poetics of Myung Mi Kim’s DURA,” investigates the lyrical geometry of Kim’s collection through theoretical interventions offered by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.  Zhou is especially interested in the ways in which the collection inhabits numerous geographical landscapes and temporalities. Other analytical approaches have included Joseph Jeon’s study of DURA’s sound qualities, specifically the interlingual valences where Korean phonetics clash against English.  Brian Reed has categorized Kim’s lyrics as espousing “postlinear poetics,” arguing that DURA contains “word squares” where the physical shape of specific poetic sections must be analyzed.

     Chax Press published my second book, The Bounty, in 1996 and ran a second printing in 2000.   The Bounty interrogates the agency of utterance undergirding the historical process of transcultural encounters, with a focus on questions of translation (translatability, transliteration, transcription).  Work from The Bounty was anthologized in Moving Borders: Three Decades of Innovative Writing by Women. Talisman House (l998), Primary Trouble: An Anthology of Contemporary American Poetry. Talisman House (1996), Premonitions: The KAYA Anthology  of New Asian North American Poetry. Kaya Productions (1995).
     Under Flag, my first book of poems, (Kelsey St. Press, 1991, l998, 2008, 2011) inaugurated a foundational consideration in my poetry; namely, how might the stress marks of history, the fragility of lives in upheaval, the trace of the conversation between the dead and the living be inflected in our conception and practice of language? In the past decade or so, my poetry has found a growing readership here and abroad.
Translations of my work have appeared in Spanish, French, and Korean. Critical response to my writing has been robust.  Along with the critical work mentioned above, I would also highlight:  Dowling, Sarah. “Interpolation, Coherence, History: The Works of Myung Mi Kim.”  Nests and Strangers: On Asian-American Women Poets.  Kelsey St.  Press, 2015.  jacket 2 feature on Myung Mi Kim: http://jacket2.org/feature/myung-mi-kim,  2013.  Jeon, Joseph Jonghyun. Forms:  Objecthood in Avant-garde Asian American Poetry.  University of Iowa Press, 2012.  Ziarek, Krzysztof. “Noting Silence.” Critical Horizons, 11.3, 2010.  Liu, Warren. "Making Common the Commons:  Myung Mi Kim's Ideal Subject."  American Poets in the 21st Century: The New Poetics. Wesleyan University Press, 2007.
     The composer, John Zorn, commissioned me to write a bilingual Korean/English text for his “New Traditions in East Asian Bar Bands.”  I have given poetry readings in a wide range of venues, such as:  Poets House (New York), Rice University, Wesleyan University, Brown University, University of Maine at Bangor, Segue Reading Series (New York), University  of California at San Diego, Duke University, University of Utah at Salt Lake City, Page Turner: The Asian-American Literary Festival, Asian American Writers Workshop, Lunch Poems Series, University of California at Berkeley, Mt. Holyoke College, University of Wisconsin at Madison, Kelly Writer’s House, University of Pennsylvania, Poets Out Loud at Lincoln Center, Fordham University, University of Virginia, St. Mark's Poetry Project, University of Colorado at Boulder, Cambridge Conference on Contemporary Poetry, Trinity College, Cambridge University, Cambridge, England, Folger Library, Washington, D.C., University of California at Santa Cruz, Columbia University, and the Academy of American Poets.
     My writing and teaching are deeply reciprocal.  From 1991-2002, I served as Professor of Creative Writing at San Francisco State University.  In 2002, I joined the faculty at the State University of New York at Buffalo as Professor of English and as a core faculty member of the Poetics Program.  Since my arrival at the University at Buffalo, I was appointed as Director of the Poetics Program (2008-2011), Acting Director  (Fall 2014), and am currently resuming my role as Director of Poetics for the next three years.

Patrick Beurard-Valdoye is a poet and translator who divides his time between Paris, Belfort and Lyon (where he teaches at the Lyon School of Fine Arts) in France. He has published over 20 books and has long been deeply involved in the exploration of crossovers between literary and visual arts practices, as well as practices related to the writing/creation of History and of art history. His recent books have focused on borders, movement, exile, refugee status and the interstices of human crossovers and landscapes in varying time periods. When in Berlin in 1982, Beurard-Valdoye began a collection called his Cycle of exils (Cycle des exils), and he will be sharing an extract from this work with Ivy Writers Paris tonight. This current project is built on his preceding explorations into archives, witness, exile, places of exile and oral accounts of stories linked to these themes, as can be noted in his collections Diaire, Mossa, La fugue inachevée, Le narré des îles Schwitters (publiés aux éditions Al Dante), or Gadjo-Migrandt (Poésie/Flammarion). He also completed a work on the Bauhaus, Black Mountain College, and the Vienna and New York Schools—a kind of poetic critical biographical text which he has performed in Paris and elsewhere, and which acts in ways as a collage of readings, anecdotes and images emerging and traversing a mindscape. This bio of course only touches on the massive body of work already published by Patrick Beurard-Valdoye, including recent volumes of books such as: Itinerrance, site cité citain (Obsidiane, 2004) ; Théorie des noms (Textuel, coll. « l'œil du poète », 2006) ; Le messager d'Aphrodite (Obsidiane, 2009). His work as a translator includes publications in Action Poétique of Kurt Schwitters (co-translated by Isabelle Ewig) and Hilda Morley (co-translated with Séverine Daucourt-Fridriksson). For more on Patrick Beurard-Valdoye, you can read his articles in French on remue.net, or consult his Wiképédia page or get a sneak peek of his reading style by watching the video from his reading « Black Mountain College » for Double Change at la maison de la poésie in May of 2014 :  https://vimeo.com/96625031

Ron Horning lives and works in Beacon, New York, and revisits and rewrites old homes Greece and Brazil as often as he can. He and his wife, the painter Anna West, are on their way to Greece now. His poems, collaborations with other poets, and translations from French, Brazilian, and classical Latin poetry have appeared in The New Yorker, Exquisite Corpse, Vanitas, Gerry Mulligan, Sal Mimeo, Insurance, The Hat, Provincetown Poetry, and Telephone, and he has written prose reports for Aperture, The Village Voice, LA Weekly, index, and The Brooklyn Rail. Last year Color Treasury published a group of three poems entitled From Philip Drunk to Philip Sober.  Read two of Ron’s poems on Best American Poetry:Private Eye and The Day Was a Bargain
