| Publisher Description: SF-Consensus is a poetry collection of 80 poems by Park Je-chun. In reading Park's poetry one often gets the impression that he communicates intimately and intensely with nature and the transcendent realm as well as everyday human reality. His poetic prowess often creates esoteric yet gripping imagery, stories and episodes, demonstrating a transcendental spirit which ventures and journeys beyond the temporal. In his poetic work, one finds similarities to magic realist literature.
Whatever he imagines and conceives poetically he seems able to embody or evoke in vigorous Korean imagery, sounds and emotions. His poetry is largely marked by far-reaching poetic and metaphysical imagination and contemplation. Also, one can easily perceive how deeply he is involved with and immersed and steeped in poetry-writing. |
