Description

An explosive collection of revolutionary poems that make the case that only poetry can save humanity.

Korean poet Pak Jeong-de envisioned Hail, Che! as a textual performance that sings and dreams of revolution. In these poems, he invokes the names of more than 200 artists—writers, musicians, filmmakers, and painters—whom he considers comrades capable of saving humanity. Throughout Hail, Che!, he pays exquisite attention to the sounds of life, attuned to the musicality of living and the unspoken poems that present themselves to those who exercise a poet's attention.

Full of reverie and reflection, Hail, Che! celebrates the revolutionary humans who write poetry and perform, labouring in love.
