Descriptions
  • English(English)

Hyonjong Chong is one of the best known and critically respected Korean poets and the recipient of numerous awards. His works demonstrates his obstinate pursuit of the relationship between poet and object. Word play and the use of puns often serve to dislocate readers from common perceptions and prejudices. Chong´s poetry conveys his profound meditation on the relationship between "man and man" and "man and things." Although his early poems depict the existential agony and pain experienced by man, shriveled by ideology and civilization, his poetic imagination transforms this pain into a festival. In Chong´s later poems, his imagination develops into an ecological vision which pursues the corresponding oneness of his "self" and the world around him.
