Three Poets of Modern Korea: Yi Sang, Hahm Dong-seon, and Choi Young-mi, translated by Yu Jung-yul and James Kimbrell
A superb introduction to the undiscovered treasures of contemporary Korean poetry. American poet James Kimbrell and translator/native speaker Yu Jung-yul have gathered leading representatives of three generations of Korean poets, from the Dada and surrealist influenced work of Yi Sang, to the colloquial, affirming poems of Hahm Dong-seon, and the brilliant sensuality of Choi Young-mi.
