Writing
HK Park writes across lyric & nonfiction essay and autobiographical fiction. At the center of this writing practice is Itinerary of a Soul, a novel in progress. At the margins of this practice are works that play with hybridity and intertextuality. Original short pieces and other ephemera related to Kim U-Jin and the Itinerary of a Soul archive will be shared here over time.
