This is the first English translation of selected poems by one
of the most important and unusual modern poets of South Korea. In
contrast to the strident political protests found in the poetry of
many of his contemporaries, Pak Chaesam's work is characterized by
intimate portraits of place, nature, childhood, and human
relationships, and by indirection, nostalgia, and
reflectiveness.
Often focused upon the border of this world and some other, Pak
writes with a spareness of presentation but a cornucopia of
imagery, meticulously exploring objective and subjective realms of
existence and memory. Encouraging the reader to see and listen, and
to allow the sensory to reshape the analytical, Pak's poetry opens
up new realms of experience. A fellow Korean poet described Pak's
poetry as being "the most exquisite expression of the Korean sense
of han," or melancholy.
