Poetry. I USED TO BE KOREAN is Jiwon Choi's second full length poetry collection. Hanging Loose Press also published Choi's earlier poetry collection, ONE DAUGHTER IS WORTH TEN SONS.These sharp-tongued poems, often levitating on their own buoyant wit, are full of Jiwon Choi's delightful 'wickedness and dirty humor.' Her work is propelled by New York immigrant energy, which of course makes it quintessentially American.--Terence Winch
