"A polar bear rests on a small block of ice that can barely support its weight in the middle of the vast ocean. Climate crisis is a long-standing issue in the polar regions. The loss and sense of helplessness brought about by climate change has now begun to manifest itself as “climate grief.” Literary imagination, which extends beyond the current human experience and into the future, poses the following question: Can our shared experience of climate grief bring us closer together and help us reconcile our differing views in the face of the ongoing crisis? ㅡEd."
The issue of climate change has been raised for many years now. We have seen a myriad of media outlets and organizations that have called attention to the severe consequences of climate change, not to mention extreme weather events and climate-related disasters and catastrophes that are happening more frequently than before and make the complexity of climate change more palpable to us. Nonetheless, people are still carrying out their usual, everyday activities.
The KLN’s special summer issue, titled “The Face of Climate Grief,” features essays by author Choi Jeonghwa, Dr. Won Young Lee, and literary critic Heo Hee. The piece by Choi prompts us to reflect on our present selves, while Dr. Lee gives a telling account of what’s happening at the Poles, regions directly hit by the effects of climate change. What can literature do in these times of climate change?
The literary critic Heo Hee gives us valuable insights into the flow of literature in this age of climate change in his essay.The summer 2023 issue also features an exclusive interview with the poet Ra Heeduk alongside some of her works. The Bookmark section includes “Martian Child” by Kim Seong Joong, “The Enemy of Capitalism” by Jeong Ji A, and poems by Lee Young-ju and Kim Un. You can also find a classic literature piece, “The Tale of Choe Cheok” in this section.
