The
Kenyon Review in which I converse with poets about their work and interests both on and off the page. Today’s feature is Jihyun Yun and her debut collection
Some Are Always Hungry (University of Nebraska Press, 2020), which won the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry and which Ada Limón calls “a reckoning with immigration and historical trauma and rooted in the sensorial world, these poems are timeless and ongoing.” A Fulbright research grant recipient, she has received degrees from the University of California–Davis and New York University. Her work has appeared in
Narrative Magazine,
Poetry Northwest,

INTRODUCTION
Poetry is always teaching me something. When I became an editor with
Barren Magazine, I quickly realized reading someone else’s art vastly improved my own. Submitters introduced me to forms I never knew existed and made me want to try my own hand at it. Like pantoums. I didn’t know what the hell a pantoum was until I read one in the slush pile.

New Ohio Review, and
Poetry Review. He lives in San Diego, California, where he teaches at The Bishop’s School. More at www.adamodavis.com.
INTRODUCTION
The most important work any poet does is done on the page. Despite all claims otherwise, poets are mechanics, not magicians, and what makes us what we are is the tinkering, the testing, the troubleshooting. I love that work. Especially now, I take such comfort in the sanctity of the page. There I’m alone, adrift in possibility, nothing but an echo with ink, and there I must prove again and anew what I am and what I can do. A poet is not a poet without poems. The work is all and everything that matters.
