Kim Seung-Hee / 김승희 / 2021 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Korean Poetry > 21st century poetry

This selection of Kim Seung-hee's most recent poems is drawn half from her ninth collection, Hope is Lonely, and half from her tenth collection, Croaker on a Chopping Board. Focusing on humanity s utter fragility through, among others, the themes of death, hope, depression and love, often seen through the lens of sorrowful womanhood, these poems, be they modernist or romantic in idiom, also comment on political and social issues, and Korean society and culture in general. Brother Anthony s deeply sensitive translation, and his informative preface, make the work of this major Korean poet available for the first time in the UK.   Source : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lonely-Seung-Hee-translated-Brother-Anthony/dp/1911469762
