Shin Kyong-Nim's first volume of poems, Farmers' Dance (Nong-mu),
marked a major new step in the development of modern Korean poetry
when it was published in 1973. The life of Korea's oppressed rural
masses had never before been highlighted in such a manner. For
years, the poet had shared that life as a laborer and salesman, and
the poems reflect a deep identification with classes and situations
that were normally not considered suitable subjects for poetry.
This volume offers a full translation of the poems of the expanded
1975 edition, making available in English for the first time one of
the most influential works of modern Korean poetry.
