This selection of Kim Seung-hee's most recent
poems is drawn half from her ninth collection, Hope is Lonely, and half from her tenth collection, Croaker on a Chopping Board. Focusing on
humanity's utter fragility through, among others, the themes of death, hope,
depression and love, often seen through the lens of sorrowful womanhood, these
poems, be they modernist or romantic in idiom, also comment on political and
social issues, and Korean society and culture in general. Brother Anthony's deeply
sensitive translation, and his informative preface, make the work of this major
Korean poet available for the first time in the UK.
