    Poetry. Asian Studies. VOICES IN DIVERSITY: POETS FROM POSTWAR KOREA offers a selection of poems from 37 South Korean poets born in or after 1945, edited and translated by poet Ko Won. The selected poets represent the voice of a nation emerging from Japanese rule; they are witnesses to sweeping political, social and cultural developments who have distilled their experience of a dynamic world into a precise and elegant poetics deeply concerned with modern political realities. Much as with the Middle East, these realities virtually demand a greater acquaintance with the arts and culture of this region, a knowledge which this collection certainly provides. Ko Won has published fourteen books of poetry, is a member of the P.E.N. Center USA West, and directs the Kulmaru Institute of Literature, Los Angeles. https://www.abebooks.com/9780893048853/Voices-Diversity-Poets-Postwar-Korea-0893048852/plp

    Ces poèmes évoquent pour l'Occidental une vision poétique de l'Extrême-Orient. Ils se révèlent pourtant hantés par l'humiliation et le cauchemar. "Une femme était ensevelie dans une pierre. J'y suis entré moi aussi pour l'amour d'elle. Un été il a beaucoup plu, elle a quitté la pierre en pleurant. Le soleil et la lune ont conduit celle qui s'en allait. Seul je reste au bord du ciel bleu de Namhae Gumsan. Seul je suis submergé par les eaux bleues de Namhae Gumsan".   Source: http://books.google.co.kr/books/about/Des_choses_qui_viennent_après_la_douleu.html?id=3HLCGAAACAAJ&redir_esc=y

    Yi Song-bok has been hailed as one of the most important contemporary South Korean poets. His first collection of poems, When Does a Rolling Stone Awaken, published in 1980, is a trenchant critique of the state of mind of Koreans and of the social and political conditions in the country at the time. His second collection, South Sea, Silk Mountain, is a softer, quieter, more intimate book. This volume presents a translation of the collections in both Korean and English text, including interviews with the author.

    Koreanische Lyrik von außergewöhnlicher Imaginationskraft: mal flamboyant, mal ruhig und gelassen beschwört Lee Seong-bok das Leben. Lee Seong-boks Gedichte sind eine Feier des Individuums. Sie nehmen sein Glück, seinen Schmerz, seine Lust, sein Leiden, seine Fähigkeit zur Liebe ernst und finden dafür poetische Bilder. »Lebensstudien« nennt der Autor selbst seine Gedichte, die das Rationale oft übersteigen. Sie sind geheimnisvoll, grotesk, verspielt, wenden sich dem Alltäglichen zu und stellen sich zugleich den existenziellen Fragen.   Source: http://www.wallstein-verlag.de/9783835308688-lee-seong-bok-wie-anders-sind-die-naechte.html

    Throughout the twentieth century, few countries in Asia suffered more from foreign occupation, civil war, and international military conflict than Korea. The Colors of Dawn brings together the moving and powerful voices of over forty Korean poets from these turbulent years. From 1903 to 1945, the Japanese Empire occupied the Korean peninsula and instituted measures to annihilate the nation and its culture. After Japan's defeat in WWII, Korea became a killing ground during the Korean War (1950 to 1953). During this period and into the 1980s, South Korea was controlled by a military dictatorship, and today it remains on war footing. In the midst of internal and external conflicts, Korea's poets—threatened by the authorities with torture, imprisonment, and death—found ways to express their fierce desire for freedom and self-governance. The result is a century of outstanding poetry, from Sim Hun (1901) to more familiar modern and contemporary poets, such as Kim Chi-ha and Ko Ŭn.
