520    "A piercing debut collection of poems from a sensational 
       new talent exploring gender, race, and violence."--Jacket 
       flap. 
520    "In her arresting collection, urgently relevant for our 
       times, poet Emily Jungmin Yoon confronts the histories of 
       sexual violence against women, focusing in particular on 
       so-called comfort women, Korean women who worked in 
       Japanese-occupied territories during World War II. In 
       wrenching language, "A Cruelty Special to Our Species" 
       unforgettably describes the brutalities of war and the 
       fear and sorrow of those whose lives and bodies were swept
       up by a colonizing power, amplifying the voices of an 
       oppressed group of people whose histories have often been 
       erased and overlooked. "What is a body in a stolen 
       country?" Yoon asks. "What is right in war?" Moving 
       readers through time, space, and different cultures, and 
       bringing vivid life to the testimonies and confessions of 
       the victims, Yoon takes possession of a painful and 
       shameful history even while unearthing moments of rare 
       beauty in acts of resistance and resilience, and in the 
       instinct to survive and bear witness."--Jacket flap.
