This paper addresses how the formal experimentation that lacks overt racial and ethnic markers in “Erato: Love Poetry” remains inseparable from Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's diasporic consciousness. Due to the lack of overly racial and ethnic markers, “Erato: Love Poetry”, along with the second half of DICTEE, has largely been ignored by the scholars who sought to emphasize the significance of the work for the Asian American literary community. However, such a less declarative approach to themes such as diaspora and dislocation in DICTEE is also a powerful, no matter how oblique, way to express Cha's diasporic consciousness, which manifests in the formal experimentation that Cha carries out throughout DICTEE. The lack of critical attention to the formal experimentation that lacks overt racial and ethnic markers has been criticized as "reductive mode of reading Asian American poetry" by literary scholar Dorothy Wang, to which a majority of scholarship on DICTEE is no exception, as those who emphasized the autobiographical and historical elements in DICTEE tended to overlook sections such as “Erato: Love Poetry”. This stands in stark contrast to the amount of attention given to, for example, “Melpomene: Tragedy”, which begins with a map of Korea divided by the 38th parallel. This paper seeks to overcome the reductive approach that is pervasive in art and literary criticism on minority artists' work by examining “Erato: Love Poetry” and how its formal and aesthetic structure is inseparable from Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's diasporic position as Korean American woman.
