Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. International. Kim Hyesoon is one of South Korea's most important contemporary poets. She began publishing in 1979 and was one of the first few women in South Korea to be published in Munhak kwa jisong (Literature and Intellect), one of two key journals which championed the intellectual and literary movement against the US-backed military dictatorships of Park Chung Hee and Chun Doo Hwan in the 1970s and 80s. Don Mee Choi writes: 'Kim's poetry goes beyond the expectations of established aesthetics and traditional "female poetry" (yoryusi), which is characterised by its passive, refined language. In her experimental work she explores women's multiple and simultaneous existence as grandmothers, mothers, and daughters in the context of Korea's highly patriarchal society, a nation that is still under neo-colonial rule by the US. Kim's poetics are rooted in her attempt to resist conventional literary forms and language long defined by men in Korea. According to Kim, "women poets oppose and resist their conditions, using unconventional forms of language because their resistance has led them to a language that is unreal, surreal, and even fantastical. The language of women's poetry is internal, yet defiant and revolutionary".'.

Da: Rarewaves USA, OSWEGO, IL, U.S.A.
Paperback. Condizione: New. *Winner of The Griffin International Poetry Prize and the Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Award*The title section of Kim Hyesoon's powerful new book, Autobiography of Death, consists of forty-nine poems, each poem representing a single day during which the spirit roams after death before it enters the cycle of reincarnation. The poems not only give voice to those who met unjust deaths during Korea's violent contemporary history, but also unveil what Kim calls "the structure of death, that we remain living in." Autobiography of Death, Kim's most compelling work to date, at once reenacts trauma and narrates our historical death-how we have died and how we survive within this cyclical structure. In this sea of mirrors, the plural "you" speaks as a body of multitudes that has been beaten, bombed, and buried many times over by history. The volume concludes on the other side of the mirror with "Face of Rhythm," a poem about individual pain, illness, and meditation.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Singular poetry made through censorship, elusion, and language renewal_x000D__x000D_The astonishing poetry collection The Hell of That Star enlivens the horror of Korean life under U.S.-backed authoritarianism. Poems of blows and vomit, births and coffins alternate blithe confidence and trembling terror. When slapped seven times by a government censor, Kim responded with defiant poems. The death of language becomes a death of the writer; within death, Kim finds new life in fragmentation and reorientation. This singular volume provides a wild and rigorous study of the words of the nation-state and the self, as well as the deprivations, detainments, and surprises in between. In evading censorship, Kim's poems question, twist, and transmute; language is a site where the personal and political meet to escape containment, emptiness, and domestication. The book includes an essay by the author, with an introduction and notes by the translator._x000D__x000D_[sample poem]_x000D__x000D_The tough after all_x000D_we still remain_x000D_and just in gathering it is lovingly_x000D_even while building each other's tombs_x000D_while patting each other's backs_x000D__x000D_But when each bird turns around_x000D_their arms flung! open_x000D_embracing tightly what_x000D_they do not even recognize as their grave_x000D_and they hug and hold harder and harder_x000D_stretching four limbs out over the laid sleeping mat and blanket_x000D_saying I love you I love you even in their sleep_x000D_In this world from which crying birds have disappeared_x000D_only I am left "Translation of an early book by Kim Hyesoon, a prominent South Korean poet who has received numerous prestigious literary awards. This singular poetry collection was created in the early 1980s and speaks of life under military dictatorship"-- Provided by publisher.
