Insomniac Shark II: Kuroshio is the bilingual second volume in Angela Ping-Fen Hsu’s poetry series, two years in the making since her debut collection Insomniac Shark. Spanning six sections written between 2024 and 2026, the collection blends visual and musical poetics as Hsu moves between her two homes, Berlin and Taiwan. Through the rhythm of yoga breath, she finds the courage to keep moving forward - carrying memories of warm sunlight, concern for migrants and the displaced, and a lasting attachment to her hometown of Tainan’s food and mother tongue. Kuroshio, the Pacific’s warm ocean current, becomes both the temperature of home and a current carrying the heart across distance. This edition presents a complete English translation followed by the complete original Chinese text, inviting readers across languages into its flow.
