Ko Un has long been a living legend in Korea, both as a poet and as a person. Allen Ginsberg once wrote, 'Ko Un is a magnificent poet, combination of Buddhist cognoscenti, passionate political libertarian, and naturalist historian.' When a writer has published as much as Ko Un has in the course of more than fifty years of writing, it is hard to know where to begin, what to translate. For this collection, his translators have selected a hundred or so poems from the five collections published since the year 2002, collections acclaimed by Korean critics as bringing poetry to a new level of cosmic reference. Nothing shows more clearly his stature as a writer than the variety of themes and emotions found in his most recent work. Readers here have access for the first time to many of the poems Ko Un has produced in the 21st century, as he approaches his eightieth year, his energy and originality unabated. As Michael McLure wrote years ago: 'Ko Un's poetry has the old-fashionedness of a muddy rut on a country road after rain, and yet it is also as state-of-the-art as a DNA micro-chip.' That remains true today. "First Person Sorrowful" is Ko Un's first book to be published in the UK, and has an introduction by Sir Andrew Motion.

»Ko Un är en av vår tids främsta poeter.« Robert Hass, tidigare Poet Laureate of the United States »Ko Un är en vild koreansk dans.« Barry Hill Ko Un blev buddhistisk munk under Koreakriget. Senare debuterade han som poet, lämnade sitt liv som munk och deltog aktivt i kampen för demokratiska rättigheter i Sydkorea. Han dömdes till livstids fängelse 1980 men släpptes efter två år. Fullständig amnesti fick han först på 1990-talet och då blev det också tillåtet att översätta hans böcker, som nu finns på ett tjugotal språk.

"Ko Un's poems evoke the open creativity and fluidity of nature, and funny turns and twists of mind. Mind is sometimes registered in Buddhist terms--Buddhist practice being part of Ko Un's background. Ko Un writes spare, short-line lyrics direct to the point, but often intricate in both wit and meaning. Ko Un has now traveled worldwide and is not only a major spokesman for all Korean culture, but a voice for Planet Earth Watershed as well." --Gary Snyder Ko Un is one of the most respected poets in Korea and has been nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
