Human Time : Selected Poems

First English-language collection from a leading poet in South Korea. Kim Haengsook is one South Korea’s most eminent contemporary poets, but a complete collection of her poems has never appeared in English before now.This selection draws on her work across her career and five books in Korean.Haengsook's poetic spaces are shrouded in a magic fog that is clarifying instead of obscuring.Built out of a language that incorporates a strategy of what she calls "precise ambiguity," her work radiates outward like great waves whose philosophical rhythm you can't help but get caught in.
