At its heart, Rosanna Young Oh’s debut collection of poems, The Corrected Version,  is an immigrant narrative that ponders what it means to be an American.  Who or what do we leave behind when we move to a new country? Who or  what do we take with us? Traveling through Korean folklore, paintings,  Long Island, a family grocery store, and Buddhism, the book meditates on  the process of making meaning out of the lives we create for  ourselves—a task that has the speaker relentlessly questioning,  investigating, erasing, and rewriting the stories she ultimately chooses  to inherit as her own. A book about survival, it is also a journey made  gentle by moments of love and compassion.
