Immigrant Song

 

Sun Yung Shin (B 1974) is a Korean American poet, educator, writer and cultural worker, born in Seoul and raised in Chicago.  Her poetry collection 'A Skirt Full of Black' has won her Asian American Literary award for poetry.  Her poem 'Immigrant song' is not a poem with emotional challenges of immigration.  It is actually a political reflection of varied themes of migration, identity, the biology and history.  However, its fragmented structure is effectively cope with a sense of disorientation experienced by the immigrants.
