“History is ever arriving” in Melanie Hyo-In Han’s latest book, No Way of Returning Home, in which the recorded history of modern Korea, beginning with the Japanese occupation, is rewritten with the cultural ache, “the Korean ethos,” of collective trauma carried by the poet, which reveals history not as a knowledge for what was, but as a longing for what cannot be. Serving as a voice box for the lives muffled by injustice and tragedy, Han’s poems excavate the silences to reveal what all documentary poetry must accept: the vestiges that show no way back to a time before, and the remaining voids that show no way forward. Despite this knowing, Han’s poems vibrate with the intensity of a nation crying out in numbers of resilience and resistance, across time and space, like a chant to bring forth the future: 한

– Whitney Koo, author of ‘Any Gesture’

‘Melanie Hyo-In Han’s poems trace a lyrical history of 20th-century Korea through Japanese colonisation, civil war, and present-day tragedy. Inventive in form and bilingual approach, these poems ask readers to consider the responsibilities of familial remembrance and witness amid cultural genocide and erasure, as well as the fraught ways such scars shape the ethics of travel and appreciation. These are poems that address questions as yet unresolved.’

– Jonathan Chan, author of ‘azalea dialogues and bright sorrow’

‘한효인 / Melanie Hyo-In Han’s, No Way of Returning Home, is a stunning 조각보 of stories, tragedies, injustices, and 한 of the Korean people. Spanning oceans, generations, space, land, and time, 효인 masterfully sews pieces of our fragmented histories together and invites readers into an expansive story of the collective Korean community. Her voice is unwavering. Her poems are a pressure relief valve for our 맺힌 한. With unreserved precision and clarity, she draws a throughline from our 선조s, to our 할머니s and 할아버지s, to our 엄마s and 아빠s, to us, across the mainland, the islands, and the entire diaspora. Her poetry materializes the words our ancestors were not allowed to speak; the words they would have lost their lives over if they had ever dared let the words leave their mouths; and the words that were too painful to speak. Subverting the Korean ethos of 참을성, No Way of Returning Home is a refreshingly honest telling of our country’s complicated history. She writes with the conviction, the whole-body knowing, that we can only heal – as a people, a nation, and a country – through the sharing and witnessing of our truth, our stories.’

– Jieun Ko, author of ‘With Love, Jieun’

Every word, every space, and every fragment is placed with extraordinary care. Each carries an 울림 (ul-lim) that settles deep in the heart. Melanie draws you into the lives behind Korean history until you are standing alongside its voices, inhabiting their grief and defiance, their endurance and hope. At times, it feels as though you are living these moments with them—wanting to weep, to rage, to refuse what history has asked them to bear. No Way of Returning Home doesn’t simply recount history. It invites you to bear witness to it. It leaves you with questions that remain long after the final page: what it means to inherit 한 (han), to remember, and to carry forward the strength of those who came before us.

— Mirae Lee, Co-founder & Editor of choa magazine

With a powerfully succinct and unique voice, No Way of Returning Home is a thoughtfully constructed collection of poems. Melanie captures the pain, rage, and grief that has built up in our bodies over generations. She looks directly at our heartbreak in a profoundly human way and speaks to the resilience that we have necessarily forged and what that has cost. It reminds us that we cannot forget—we can and must continue to fight and find strength and love in what remains.

— Harriet Kim, Co-founder & Editor of choa magazine

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
