Kim Sono, born 1992 in Seoul, Republic of Korea, is a poet who explores the boundaries of language, sound, and embodiment. As a non-binary genderqueer poet, their work unfolds in
spectral terrains that linguistic binaries cannot fully contain, seeking poetic language in the shifting continuum beyond fixed categories. They are the author of four poetry collections, Night Soccer (2020), The Film Set (2022), Syncopation (2024), and Word Dream Body(2026).
