Aerial Concave Without Cloud

Aerial Concave Without Cloud is a collection of poems about starlight, survival, resilience and acceptance in the aftermath of profound grief. It is set in two kinds of light: the deep blue glow of an apocalyptic solar collapse and the pale, ghostly light of personal devastation. The poems rest in the light of human mortality.

Sueyeun Juliette Lee combines academic research with the salp'uri dance form. Through her body, she takes in and interprets the language of starlight and turns it into poetry. In this conversation with starlight, she comes to see that resilience is not an attitude or a posture but a way of listening, and that through this exchange she finds the fundamental human element within herself.
