It was an honour to judge this prize, alongside A.M. Homes and Zain Khalid. E.J. Koh’s novel THE LIBERATORS is a worthy winner - a formally-daring (not to mention elegant), lyrical and humanizing work. Congratulations E. J. Koh 고은지 👏🏻 Young Lions @ NYPL NY Public Library

Now is the time to feel alive. Clouds  rear back until light is the holy word The grass blades under me come to patterns of rest—pendulous branches and fibrous bark make a crown. ––E. J. Koh E. J. Koh 고은지 #PoemADay poets.org/poem/birthday-2

I’m so grateful to share this news. THE LIBERATORS [해방자들] is now published in South Korea. To bridge histories of the peninsula to the Korean diaspora is to bring human dignity to lives across the world. Thank you to 장한라 and the team for making this possible.
