Beskrivning

Powerfully inventive poems of love in contemporary life by Chong Hyon-jong, one of the most respected poets writing in Korea. The novelty of his poetic language with its narrative lyricism and provacative philosophy makes it impossible to classify Chong's poetry, and yet it is a holder of tradition which embodies the laws of life as seen by gifted poets in the zen poetic tradition of Korea. Chong Hyon-jong exposes contemporary reality, like a prophet, with profound insight.

Recensioner i media

This volume introduced to me a remarkable voice from a Korea I hardly know... The imagery is haunting... and precise... Thanks to these sensual translations, we meet a 'mind uncircumscribed.'- David Shapiro Offers superb translation of a poet whose originality in his use of language makes a completely successful rendition impossible. The effort here, however, is both supreme and commendable.(World Literature Today) Succeeds admirably in communicating the particular imaginative sensibility... that makes verbal utterances poems. I wish this volume many readers.(Pacific Affairs)
