Description 작품 소개

Sorrow-toothpaste Mirror-cream

This is the 10th poetry collection by KIM Hye-Soon, iconic female poet of Korea and a strong dynamic force in the aesthetic of modern Korean poetry. In the 44-poem collection including long poem Manhole Humans, ears are referred to as “organs of eradication” and “lips of silence”. Within these poems, the secrets and screams of the world, which is crammed with the emptiness of so-called waves and clogged with black darkness, are probed until an unheard of world reveals itself.

KIM Hye-Soon

Born in 1955, in Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do. KIM’s poetry played a critical role in the poetry of the 1980s, as well as in feminist literary research and publication. She continues to be one of the most important contemporary poets of South Korea. She has received numerous prestigious poetry awards and is the first woman to receive the coveted Midang literary award for her poem “Sand Woman”. This poem, which retraces the female life through a woman’s mummy, has also been included in the collection
