Description for Day-shine
Hardcover. Translator(s): Fusco, Peter; Choe, Wolhee. Num Pages: 127 pages, 1 port. BIC Classification: 1FPK; DSB; HBJF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). .
Powerfully inventive poems of love in contemporary life by Chong Hyon-jong, one of the most respected poets writing in Korea. The novelty of his poetic language with its narrative lyricism and provacative philosophy makes it impossible to classify Chong's poetry, and yet it is a holder of tradition which embodies the laws of life as seen by gifted poets in the zen poetic tradition of Korea. Chong Hyon-jong exposes contemporary reality, like a prophet, with profound insight.
