Publisher Description: Editors Note: But still, a voice somewhere reminds me, there is the example of Kim Kirim, whose voice and vision come clear in Jack Jung's gifted translations. Kim Kirim is one of the historical authors, more frequent in our pages a decade ago. Born in 1907, he disappeared into the North during the Korean War, 1950-53, and we are left with no trace, no record of his life or his death. Jack Jung notes that Kim Kirim criticized T. S. Eliot for not being quite there yet in The Waste Land. But with the translation, and the images of the original book Weather Map as designed by the poet and architect, short story master fl neur Yi Sang, 1910-1937, we readers have an opportunity to catch up to where Korean literature and design arts were, some eight decades ago, and in the other literary works and remarkable images in our current issue, where they are now. Welcome, then. Do come in. David R. McCann April, 2016 |
