Question

A woman drags her “barking” shadow in a poem in this language, “Face of Rhythm,” which ends a collection structured around the 49 days that souls spend in limbo, Autobiography of Death. A poem in this (15[1])language calls its subject “a tap” but says that “the water running out of him is all shit, however.” This is the first language of an author who compared catering to the white poetic establishment and the work of Richard Pryor in the essay “Stand Up.” The narrator forgets the advice (15[1])of (*) “K,” one of the few Latin letters in the poem, and sits next to the title figure (10[1])in a poem in this language by the author of At Thirty, the Party is Over. (10[2])This is the first language (10[1])of the author of Minor Feelings. (10[1]-5[1])This (0[1])language (10[1])is (10[1])used by a poet who wrote of being assaulted by a once-perennial (10[1])Nobel candidate (10[1])in “Monster,” launching the #MeToo movement in her country. For 10 points, name this language of Ko Un and Choe Yeongmi ■END■

ANSWER: Korean [or Hangukeo or Hangukmal] (Autobiography of Death is by Kim Hyesoon. Minor Feelings is by Cathy Park Hong.)
