Author: Daeun Kim

Daeun Kim is a Ph.D. student in English at Indiana University Bloomington. Her research interests lie in British Romantic poetry and art, focusing on William Blake. She has been fascinated by the unorthodox spirituality of Romantic poetry and found it an exciting realm to explore feminist, ecological, and new materialist spirituality that we are ever more in need of in the 21st century. She also tries to find how graphics can work in tandem with texts to complicate and crystalize imagination for a society that neglects no marginalized voices. While continuing her academic journey at IUB, Daeun serializes feminist analyses of Korean webtoons (online comics) for South Korea’s newspaper Women’s News. Traversing the visual and textual realm, Daeun always aspires to learn how to write, draw, and practice solidarity that goes beyond discrimination and rigid religiosity.
