Overview

Abode is a debut collection of interconnected prose and free verse poems by Jun-long Lee that delve with vertiginous momentum into homes—both material and interior—lost and rediscovered from the inside looking in: they are excavations of nested domestic spheres furnished with the bricolage of ruin and decay. Lee takes readers through hallucinatory geographies, plant-haunted spaces, and dreamlike corridors flooded with water and light, accompanied by an ever-changing subject that cannot make itself feel at home in its body, its country, or its language.

Reviews

""The interconnected poems in Jun-long Lee's striking debut collection, Abode, explore the challenge of feeling at home - culturally and spiritually, in the body, and perhaps most poignantly, in language - in fresh and sometimes freaky ways. From organic (forest, caves, the sea) to architectural (doors, rooms, the cathedral) to in-between 'haunted structures' like the grave, images and lines move associatively, led by sound to playful and hallucinatory effect, reflecting and evoking discomfort."" -- ""Quill & Quire""
