What is The Yellow House about?

The first time I heard Chiwan Choi read, I had no idea what to expect. By the time he was done a few minutes later, I was shaken, almost vibrating with the energy of his voice, his line. The poems in his latest, The Yellow House , show that this energy has only intensified over time. Theres a kind of low-key power to his writing that can be casually devastatinga naked, a cappella warbling that can rise, in an instant, to the ecstatic. Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science-Fictional Universe I have replaced god / with longing, writes Chiwan Choi in his latest The Yellow House , a phrase that acts more as earthbound apotheosis of survival than it does as mere thesis. Here, Choi recasts the familial legacy of war and displacement, but also of joy and triumph, into a private spiritual kingdom, where even after the city is destroyed he writes, I will touch you on the surface of everything. This is poetry as preservation, as an unrelinquished archive of ghosts, but mostly, it arrives, to our luck, as a testament of a self earned and re-earned, like how yellowness, caught in its own dizzying light, turns itself golden. This book is golden. Ocean Vuong, author of Night
