Find Me as the Creature I Am is a book of tenderness and violence, longing and love. From inherited family tales to meditations on the body to animals' displays of love and grief, Emily Jungmin Yoon shows how entwined the human and animal worlds really are. In poems full of wonder and want, she illuminates our tendencies to fight or fly, act with affection and cruelty, and ultimately, overflow with life itself. Here, we see that what passes between us - body to body, generation to generation - is what defines a life.

EMILY JUNGMIN YOON is the author of Ordinary Misfortunes and A Cruelty Special to Our Species, a finalist for the 2020 Kate Tufts Discovery Award and winner of the 2019 Devil's Kitchen Reading Award in poetry. Yoon is the recipient of awards and fellowships from the Poetry Foundation, Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, and Ploughshares, and her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, The New York Times Magazine, The Paris Review, and The Sewanee Review. Yoon is the poetry editor for The Margins, the literary magazine of the Asian American Writers' Workshop, and she is an assistant professor of Korean literature at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. She splits her time between Honolulu and South Korea.
