    Beskrivning

    Kim Myeong-sun is Korea's first published woman writer. Fruit of Life: Poems (생명의 과실: 김명순 시선) is the first book-length, Korean-to-English translation of her poetry. Kim's poems offer a raw portrait of 1920s–30s Korea, driven by her personal experiences of sexual assault, misogynistic journalism and criticism, displacement, and poverty during the Japanese colonial occupation (1910–1945). Alongside feminist critique, Kim also writes about sapphic desire, familial affection, and nature, in styles that range from the traditional to the experimental. While Kim's work was erased from the canon by Korea's misogynistic literary establishment, Fruit of Life celebrates the legacy of Kim's radical, versatile poetry, which paved the way for contemporary Korean women writers. English-Korean Bilingual Edition 영-한 이중언어판This book is published with the support of the Literature Translation Institute of Korea (LTI Korea).'한국 여성 최초 등단 작가' 김명순의 시가 영문 완역본 『생명의 과실: 김명순 시선』으로 영어권 독자들을 만난다. 1920–30년대 조선 사회의 민낯을 강렬하고 가감 없는 언어로 담아낸 김명순의 시는, 일제강점기 아래 성폭력과 여성혐오적 언론 및 비평, 이주와 빈곤을 직접 겪어낸 작가의 여성주의적·반식민주의적 저항 정신을 생생히 드러낸다. 또한 전통과 실험을 넘나드는 다채로운 형식과 기법으로 여성 간 연대와 사랑, 가족애, 자연에 대하여 노래한다. 『생명의 과실: 김명순 시선』은 여성혐오적 문단으로부터 소외당한 김명순의 작품을 재조명하며, 한국 여성문학의 새로운 지평을 연 그의 업적을 기념한다.

    Recensioner i media

    "Kim Myeong-sun is the first modern woman writer to publish a collection of creative works in Korea, and her poems are lyrical, intimate, and laden with evocative imagery. Her work is absolutely deserving of a global readership, and the publication of Fruit of Life, in Eunice Lee's faithful and graceful translations, will provide the vital step in that direction. This volume is a gift to any reader searching for a truly remarkable Korean woman writer." - J.J. Choi, author of The Life and Works of Korean Poet Kim Myong-sun"This poetry anthology in English translation provides its readers with a long-awaited, insightful window into the inner and literary world of Kim Myeong-sun—one of the iconic figures of the first generation of modern Korean women writers, who led a much maligned and tragically storied life and career." - Yung-Hee Kim, translator of Gendered Landscapes: Short Fiction by Modern and Contemporary Korean Women Novelists"In Fruit of Life, Kim Myeong-sun's groundbreaking poetry recuperates women's interiority under colonial and misogynist conditions. Poet and scholar Eunice Lee's long-awaited translation illuminates a hidden feminist and anti-colonialist voice, carrying Korean women's poetry across a century of the lyric, the page, and gendered history." - Margaret Rhee, author of Love, Robot"In Eunice Lee's hands, words, and ear, Kim Myeong-sun comes to life anew—not just with correctness, but with a poet's force and elegance. This taut, deft, compelling translation allows us to hear Kim as a poet not just of her time, but of our own, and of times to come. Lee's performance of Kim's poems may at last start to bring her the global appreciation her own age foreclosed." - Spencer Lee-Lenfield, translator of Shin Hae-uk's Biologicity"In Fruit of Life, each poem glows with struggle and hope, revealing the luminous spirit of Korea's pioneering woman poet." - Won-Chung Kim, translator of Seungja Choi's Phonebells Keep Ringing for Me
