Overview
Lee Soho''s debut collection of poems is an experimental lyric bildungsroman confronting dynamics of abuse. Catcalling exposes and ridicules the violences that the speaker-protagonist Kyungjin encounters in a patriarchal world. Divided in to five formally distinct sections the book begins in Kyungjin''s childhood home as she recounts the haunting claustrophobia of verbal and psychological abuse, and follows her into the world as an emerging female poet navigating pervasive sexism in the era of Korea''s own movement against sexual violence and the global #MeToo movement.
