Description
"'Dazzling strokes of falling stars in falling water.
I want to write poems like that,' writes Moon Chung-hee.
Thanks to Silberg and You, these poems dazzle bright in English.
Here love is violent and 'suffered, an encysted stone ...wedged' in the heart, and defiance trembles the soul: 'Dress up for men, you say? / Nonsense / I stripped / for them ...the world's women / root on earth, naked.' Chung-hee casts off 'the watch and mink stole,' and exclaims: 'I want to be a free dancer from now on.'"--Sholeh Wolpe Moon Chung-hee's poetry is passionate, impetuous, a poetry of love, epiphany, feminist assertion, even rebellion. Richard Silberg co-translated, with Clare You, The Three Way Tavern and This Side of Time, by Ko Un.
He is author of The Horses: New and Selected Poems. Clare You is the Chair of the Center for Korean Studies at USC Berkeley, and has co-translated modern Korean poetry and fiction into English.
