Overview

    This is the first English-language collection of poems by this award-winning South Korean poet.

    A selection of the poems in translation have appeared in Asymptote and on the Action Books blog: https: //actionbooks.org/2021/08/kim-haengsook-five-poems/

    The author is associated with the Korean Futurism school of poetry, which emerged in the 2000s when young poets began writing experimental works that broke with the lyrical tradition of South Korea.

    The editor and lead translator is well connected in both Asian literature and translation circles.

Reviews
"Chosen by the poet from books she has published during the past two decades, Human Time spans the voices the poet has engaged with. Whether in the sky or underground, vanishing staircase or field trip . . . the urgency of what is being said is the music we have been longing to hear. As the poet tells us: 'Time, we're always in the thick of it.' I think we would be derelict if we did not join her there." -John Yau
