| Synopsis: |
Kim Sowol (1902-1934) is one of Korea's most beloved poets. In this elegant translation, David McCann makes available for English audiences Sowol's delightful and sophisticated blend of the images, tonalities, and rhythms of traditional Korean folk songs with surprisingly modern forms and themes. "Azaleas" conveys Sowol's unique and sometimes unsettling perspective, expressed through loneliness and longing and an imaginative use of dream imagery - a reflection of his engagement with French symbolist poetry. Though published in 1925 and considered a landmark of Korean literature, "Azaleas" retains an immediacy and richness for contemporary readers from all cultures. |
