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

In Ulsan, Korea, there are rare paintings of whales engraved on a rock by prehistoric men thousands of years ago. One of these outstanding engravings portrays a mother whale and her baby. Experts on Cetaceans conjecture that they could be Korean gray whales. Even prehistoric men must have been attracted by the strong maternal love of the female gray whales. Across the centuries from the prehistoric past, this collection of whale poems, sponsored by the Ulsan Writers Assembly and Ulasan Metropolitan City, is akin to the engravings of our prehistoric forefathers who delicately inscribed their caring motherly love on an ancient rock. Like the prehistoric engravings in Ulsan, this book of whale poems will engrave the Korean people s ever-lasting love for whales on the heart of all people in this world.

Est-il besoin de rappeler que la gastronomie est la porte d'entrée royale vers toute culture ? En Corée aussi, la cuisine est très importante comme marqueur identitaire, comme pratique sociale, comme patrimoine... Au-delà du kimchi et du bibimbap popularisés par la Vague coréenne, les écrivains coréens d'hier et d'aujourd'hui nous introduisent dans ce monde de saveurs et de souvenirs qui dessinent une carte gourmande encore méconnue. 26 auteurs, 34 textes, 20 traducteurs : un riche petit livre à déguster sans modération !

The cart of poetry that Lee Sangguk has drawn for nearly 50 years has two emotional wheels. One wheel is formed by what was learned by breathing in Mother Nature, and the other wheel is formed by sentiments that form by growing up in an agrarian society. These two emotional wheels carry two loves. One love is formed from the natural sense of community that rises from the belief that all life on this earth is one. The other love is embodied in agrarian communities, in these communal societies where there is no "you" or "I," people simply share and help one another. source : https://product.kyobobook.co.kr/detail/S000214710538
