A wooden tabletop holds two poetry books and a small crocheted black bird with a gray beak and shiny eyes perched in a blue cup. On the left is Phantom Limbs by Lee Min-ha, translated by Jein Han, with a pale yellow cover and a green vine design. On the right is Pirowa Padowa by Lee Jenny, translated by Archana Madhavan, with a blue-green cover showing a blurred, abstract landscape and the note “Winner of the Malinda A. Markham Prize for Translation.”

So proud I could burst. Two luminous Korean poetry books in English, both by my former ALTA Emerging Translator mentees

💫 Jein Han’s Phantom Limbs (Lee Min-ha)
💫 Archana Madhavan’s PIROWA PADOWA (Lee Jenny)
