It is hoped that the present volume gives some idea about modern Korean poetry in terms of subject matter, themes and modes of expression. The majority of the poems have been taken from among the most widely read and best-loved poems. The present book, however, cannot claim to present a satisfactory cross-section of modern Korean poetry. Among other things, the poems presented in volume where chosen largely on the basis of the degree to which individual poems rendered themselves to translation into the English language and partly on the personal preferences of the translator (from the Introduction). https://www.amazon.com/Best-Loved-Poems-Korea-Foreigners/dp/0930878353

This anthology of seventy-two poets covers the whole spectrum of Korean poetry in this century, with larger selections from the best-known poets, including Midang So Chung-Ju, Kim Sowol, and Kim Suyong. Many types of poetry, from the classical shijo to free-verse forms are represented. Many subjects are covered, from love and the love of nature, Buddhist and Confucian traditions, the search for transcendence (which is where the book's title comes from), and contemporary political poetry.

I have prepared this anthology with the aim of providing the reader with a bird's-eye view of modern Korean poetry, with its best sampling, from the 1920s to the 1980s, best in the sense that it represents the varied aspects of Korean poetry   Source: www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Korean-Poetry-Kim-Jaihuin/dp/0889625611

Asomarse al exterior de la cultura nunca es peligroso. Con este volumen, ADONAIS, que ofreció hace poco Poesía danesa contemporánea (núm. 373-74), enfoca ahora su objetivo hacia Extremo Oriente, tan tocado por las singularidades, para extender en POESIA COREANA ACTUAL una muy cumplida y rigurosa muestra de la expresión de un patrimonio poético cuyo interés va siempre más allá de lo exótico. Esta antología nos transmite, a través de 31 autores vivos, una cosmovisión donde lo mágico se une a lo directo, pues toda la lírica de Corea no es sino la naturaleza misma trasplantada al plano de los sentimientos, o viceversa. Durante veinte siglos, se comprueba que sus creadores gozan de la vida natural y aciertan a convertirla en materia inseparable de su palabra, sin romper del todo con las ascendencias tradicionales, pese a los diversos rumbos emprendidos. Ciñéndonos a este siglo, es dado fijar distintas etapas de ese proceso. Entre 1894 y 1925, lo predominante fue la poesía simbolista-romántica. Al período 1925-1934 le caracteriza la mezcla de modos: desde la poesía pura al surrealismo. Hacia 1936 asomó un fondo humanitario y vital cuyas influencias proceden del renacentismo europeo. Arranca de 1950 el gusto por la estética vanguardista. En los años sesenta hubo un brote de poesía social, mientras que, en las últimas décadas, volvió a recobrarse totalmente el hilo de lo antiguo, aunque sin caer en la actitud conservadora a secas. Recoge este volumen obra de poetas encajados en una escala cronológica que abarca desde SO CHUNG IN, nacido en 1915, hasta YONG-TAE MIN, nacido en 1943. Este último es quien asume la espinosa y responsable faena de prologar, traducir y seleccionar un panorama lleno de sugestiones y muy escasamente divulgado entre nosotros. Su vinculación con España es una nota de acusado valor, que garantiza por entero la calidad de su trabajo.

Throughout the twentieth century, few countries in Asia suffered more from foreign occupation, civil war, and international military conflict than Korea. The Colors of Dawn brings together the moving and powerful voices of over forty Korean poets from these turbulent years. From 1903 to 1945, the Japanese Empire occupied the Korean peninsula and instituted measures to annihilate the nation and its culture. After Japan's defeat in WWII, Korea became a killing ground during the Korean War (1950 to 1953). During this period and into the 1980s, South Korea was controlled by a military dictatorship, and today it remains on war footing. In the midst of internal and external conflicts, Korea's poets—threatened by the authorities with torture, imprisonment, and death—found ways to express their fierce desire for freedom and self-governance. The result is a century of outstanding poetry, from Sim Hun (1901) to more familiar modern and contemporary poets, such as Kim Chi-ha and Ko Ŭn.
