Kim Seung-Hee / 김승희 / 2007 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Korean Poetry > 20th century poetry > 1945-1999
"Seaweed and Shamans" captures Brenda Paik Sunoo’s 12-year journey of coming to terms with her 16-year-old son’s sudden and unexpected death. Heartfelt and at times heart-rending, a collection of 21 essays captures the third-generation Korean-American mother's journey of grief into solace. Instead of focusing on the immediate anguish of such a tragedy, each essay opens the door to the unexpected and sustaining gifts. This book is a chronicle of emotional insights from a writer wisened by experience and willing to share her tale of grief, survival, and embrace of life. "Seaweed and Shamans" is not a griever’s manual, but a memoir of self-healing and restoration.

Walking on a Washing LineEnglish(English) Funded by LTI Korea Available
Kim Seung-Hee / 김승희 / 2011 / -
Kim Seung-Hee's poetry is usually described in Korea as "feminist," "subversive," and "surrealist." Most important is the way her poetic voices differ radically from any other Korean poet's, male or female. Her work has sometimes found a readier acceptance among readers of the English translations than among Koreans reading the originals, who are often puzzled by the seeming lack of conventional poetic themes and female sensitivity. Bilingual volume in English/Korean. https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Washing-Line-Seung-Hee-Cornell/dp/1933947500

I Want to Hijack an AirplaneEnglish(English) Funded by LTI Korea Available
Kim Seung-Hee / 김승희 / 2004 / -
The 103 poems in this volume by Kim Seung-hee cover a number of themes: sacredness of the life force, conditions of women, mother-daughter relationship, and husband-wife relationship. "Female Buddha" paints a vivid picture of a woman's agony in the delivery room and the triumphant birth of a new life. In "The Legendary Flute of Shilla," Kim poses a question to her husband: "Is it possible to live together, yet as if not, or to live apart, yet as if together?" Her works also deal with the cold and dehumanizing aspects of modern urban life, and the longing for freedom as an absolute ideal. "Hijacking an Airplane" best expresses her desire to transcend existence and liberate the individual from everything that confines and oppresses. https://www.abebooks.com/9781931907132/Want-Hijack-Airplane-Selected-Poems-1931907137/plp

The Columbia anthology of modern Korean poetryEnglish(English) Funded by LTI Korea Available
Joo Yohan et al / 주요한 et al / 2004 / -
Korea's modern poetry is filled with many different voices and styles, subjects and views, moves and countermoves, yet it still remains relatively unknown outside of Korea itself. This is in part because the Korean language, a rich medium for poetry, has been ranked among the most difficult for English speakers to learn. The Columbia Anthology of Modern Korean Poetry is the only up-to-date representative gathering of Korean poetry from the twentieth century in English, far more generous in its selection and material than previous anthologies. It presents 228 poems by 34 modern Korean poets, including renowned poets such as So Chongju and Kim Chiha. https://www.abebooks.com/9780231111294/Columbia-Anthology-Modern-Korean-Poetry-0231111290/plp
