    Choi Seung-ho et al / 최승호 et al / 2006 / -

    This poetry anthology contains ninety poems by three prominent Korean ecopoets who write about the endangered environment and deplore its impact on nature and mankind. Seungho Choi¡¦s poetry is filled with explicit descriptions and pessimism that condemn the capitalist society and man¡¦s selfish desires, which, he believes, can ultimately ruin the ecosystem and mankind. Chiha Kim¡¦s somewhat-cynical poetry encourages the fulfillment of each creature¡¦s life through harmonious living among all living things. Hyonjong Chong¡¦s poetry, with the earth goddess Gaia in mind, writes about the bliss that could be found in living amicably with the ecosystem.   Source: http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Shell-Ecopoets-Seungho-Hyonjong/dp/1931907404

    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.

    Seul, en prison pendant la dictature, puis isolé parce que j'avais écrit contre les immolations par le feu, je me suis retrouvé confiné dans la pénombre de ma chambre, comme Hölderlin dans sa tour. Mais, un jour, quatre petites fleurs ont fini par éclore aux sources d'énergie de mon corps. Cette éclosion a été suivie par beaucoup d'autres. Serait-ce l'éclosion des mystiques taoïstes ? Un monde s'est alors dressé Triste, solennel, perçant Chaque fleur s'est ouverte dans le vide de l'espace Le vide, devenu silence, a effacé les mots. Le poème L'Éclosion a été composé quelques années avant que le silence apparaisse. Les poèmes sur Gaya ont été écrits un peu plus tard. Sans doute sont-ils nés d'une tension entre le mot et le silence. Ces poèmes ne se situent jamais sur une ligne directe qui irait du mot au mot, d'image en image, du sens au sens. C'est l'instant qui revient, infailliblement. Quelque chose comme l'anneau de Zhuang-Zi quand il évoque "l'illimité de l'anneau", ce moment poétique quasiment insaisissable. Je suppose que traduire ces poèmes en français n'a pas été une tâche facile. Je remercie tous ceux qui ont contribué à la réalisation de cet ouvrage dans la langue de poètes que j'aime et que j'admire. Un jour, je me rendrai à Paris avec le désir de voir la Seine. Non la Seine de Guillaume Apollinaire mais celle de Michel Serres ! Le fleuve du temps vivant, des contre-courants, des bouleversements !
