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.

Korea's modern poetry is filled with many different voices and styles, subjects and views, moves and countermoves, yet it still remains relatively unknown outside of Korea itself. This is in part because the Korean language, a rich medium for poetry, has been ranked among the most difficult for English speakers to learn. The Columbia Anthology of Modern Korean Poetry is the only up-to-date representative gathering of Korean poetry from the twentieth century in English, far more generous in its selection and material than previous anthologies. It presents 228 poems by 34 modern Korean poets, including renowned poets such as So Chongju and Kim Chiha. https://www.abebooks.com/9780231111294/Columbia-Anthology-Modern-Korean-Poetry-0231111290/plp

Park Jaesam et al / 박재삼 / 2006 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Korean Poetry > 20th century poetry

This is the first English translation of selected poems by one of the most important and unusual modern poets of South Korea. In contrast to the strident political protests found in the poetry of many of his contemporaries, Pak Chaesam's work is characterized by intimate portraits of place, nature, childhood, and human relationships, and by indirection, nostalgia, and reflectiveness. Often focused upon the border of this world and some other, Pak writes with a spareness of presentation but a cornucopia of imagery, meticulously exploring objective and subjective realms of existence and memory. Encouraging the reader to see and listen, and to allow the sensory to reshape the analytical, Pak's poetry opens up new realms of experience. A fellow Korean poet described Pak's poetry as being "the most exquisite expression of the Korean sense of han," or melancholy.
