Poetry. Asian Studies. VOICES IN DIVERSITY: POETS FROM POSTWAR KOREA offers a selection of poems from 37 South Korean poets born in or after 1945, edited and translated by poet Ko Won. The selected poets represent the voice of a nation emerging from Japanese rule; they are witnesses to sweeping political, social and cultural developments who have distilled their experience of a dynamic world into a precise and elegant poetics deeply concerned with modern political realities. Much as with the Middle East, these realities virtually demand a greater acquaintance with the arts and culture of this region, a knowledge which this collection certainly provides. Ko Won has published fourteen books of poetry, is a member of the P.E.N. Center USA West, and directs the Kulmaru Institute of Literature, Los Angeles. https://www.abebooks.com/9780893048853/Voices-Diversity-Poets-Postwar-Korea-0893048852/plp

Song Kiwon describe este mundo tormentoso a través de flores que iluminan nuestros días haciéndonos conscientes de la épica que ensalza este tiempo turbulento, dijo Ko Un, uno de los grandes maestros de la poesía coreana, sobre los poemas de Song Kiwon. Como en cualquier jardín, las flores del poeta también se nutren de lo corrupto, de aquello que no disfrutamos ver, de lo que no sirve. Los protagonistas de estos poemas de flores son personajes marginales –prostitutas, dementes, madres ancianas enfermas, paralíticas–, mujeres y hombres débiles que no forman parte del mundo productivo pero que, sin embargo, funcionan aquí como paradojas simbólicas. Para Song Kiwon, estas flores son una suerte de estado de iluminación, una repentina comprensión del mundo y representan la inesperada belleza de lo abyecto.   Source: http://www.cuspide.com/9789871803484/Flores Mias Que Nunca Las He Visto/
