More recently her work has appeared alongside two other Korean women poets in Poems of Kim Yideum, Kim Haengsook & Kim Min Jeong (Vagabond Press, 2017). Yideum’s work is feminist and subverts expectations made of women in ways that are confrontational and even incite revulsion. She is not polite in ways that are deeply exciting, and she does not water down the horrors of gendered violence or make it more palatable to her audience. Yideum also exposes what the silence of society has borne for women in the face of gendered violence. In “Expectations of Silence” she writes, “A case without a witness gets swept under the rug, and people say they’ll get what they deserve in the end, the truth will come out. No, it won’t. The truth is heading toward annihilation.”
