A Short Story Reading by Hwang Jungeun: “A Day Without Trouble”
The following year, Yeongin began looking for a new job.She interviewed with a company that sourced fabric and materials from Korea and China, then shipped them to Vietnam, where it manufactured clothing for global retail brands. She took the elevator up to the twelfth floor. When the doors opened, a long, wide hallway stretched ahead, lined with large doors on either side. Some resembled apartment doors, while others were fitted with wrought iron grilles or made of glass lit by neon signs. Boratec, Dozen, Unico, Cox—it was difficult to tell by the company names alone what any of them did.When Yeongin came to the right number, she knocked on the glass double doors and stepped inside. A man introduced himself as Manager Kim. He seemed lively, curious, and slightly belligerent, and had bloodshot eyes.

A Poetry Reading by Poet Jin Eun-young “In Houyhnhnmland”
In Houyhnhnmland Books soaked in the wine of his blood Nakba in Arabic— Shoah in Hebrew— The somehow beautiful shape of the lips around such words Through the TV’s Hubble telescope, We can see at the end of space another world’s children dying If we don’t cover our eyes, if we don’t turn from the sight We can always watch death Close by as well We can just imagine—it’s so far away [...] Everything is like that, from a distance A warm campfire, the burning cityUp in the skyLike the long-vanished stars, the screams twinkle ✔ More poems by Jin Eun-young can be found at the link belowhttps://kln.or.kr/bookmark/poetryView.do?bbsIdx=2120 Translated by Seth Chandler
