Eunsong Kim & Elvia Wilk

Eunsong Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Northeastern University. Her book project in progress, The Politics of Collecting: Property & Race in Aesthetic Formation considers how legal notions of property become foundational to avant-garde and modern understandings of innovation in the arts. Eunsong co-founded the arts forum, contemptorary, a magazine supported by the Andy Warhol Art Writers Grant Program, dedicated to archiving artists of color and publishing emerging perspectives in the arts. Her essays have appeared in: Lateral: Journal of the Cultural Studies Association, Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies, and in the book anthologies, Poetics of Social Engagement and Reading Modernism with Machines. Her poetry has appeared in: Iowa Review, Brooklyn Magazine, amongst others. Her first book of poetry, gospel of regicide, was published by Noemi Press in 2017, and her co-translation (with Sung Gi Kim) of Kim Eon Hees poetic text Have You Been Feeling Blue These Days? will be published in March of 2019.
