The following poems are from a long poem called “I’m OK, I’m Pig” by Kim Hyesoon, which will be in Sorrowtoothpaste Mirrorcream, scheduled to be published in March 2014, by Action Books. The poem is about torture. Kim Hyesoon told me that she watched a documentary about the survivors of torture during the military dictatorships of former presidents, Park and Chun, and read a book about the history of torture in Korea. She also watched a documentary about how diseased pigs are disposed of. Tortured bodies, diseased bodies, pig organs, human organs overlap and chatter and squeal incessantly, boring into each other as many things often do in Kim Hyesoon’s poems. I was ecstatic while I was translating this poem just as I was when I translated her other long poem, “Manhole Humanity,” in All the Garbage of the World, Unite! (Action Books, 2011).
