Hong Shin-seon
홍신선
Hong Shin-seon (1944~) is a Korean poet. His writing career dates back to the 1960s, when he was active as a modernist poet. During the 1970-80s, his poetry engaged critically with the politics of the time. From the 1990s, Hong’s focus shifted to Buddhist thought, and the serial poem Maeumgyung (마음경 The Book of the Mind), which was written over a period over twenty years, is considered his major work.
