Korean Poet Bridges Centuries With Contemporary Poetry, May 29, 2002
This review is from: Crow's Eye View: The Infamy of Lee Sang, Korean Poet (Paperback)
Myong-Hee Kim has worked a fantastic labor of love with her translation of Korean poet Lee Sang.
Though he died at an early age, Sang has achieved respect and admiration for his poetry, which was (and continues to be) as radical as that of the language poets of our own century.
Sang's surreal work is infused with politics and a keen eye on society, bringing forward his search for truth and justice in dire times. Artist Janice Olsen has captured the mood of Sang's poetry in her art works, which beautifully accompany the poems.
Crow's Eye View is a wonderful and exciting collection, as well as a piece of history, as this is the first ever English-language collection of his poems. Surely, this is one not to miss out on!
