“The interconnected poems in Jun-long Lee’s striking debut collection, Abode, explore the challenge of feeling at home – culturally and spiritually, in the body, and perhaps most poignantly, in language – in fresh and sometimes freaky ways. From organic (forest, caves, the sea) to architectural (doors, rooms, the cathedral) to in-between ‘haunted structures’ like the grave, images and lines move associatively, led by sound to playful and hallucinatory effect, reflecting and evoking discomfort.”
