RATING:
C+
The
majority of poems seem to refer to former officials who have escaped
to the countryside and taken such delight in the natural life as to
pop poems. They talk of seagull friends, fishing, farming, plum
blossom and disappearing into a haze of wine~soaked contemplations.
Unfortunately, the printers malfunctioned when printing my book as
several pages are missing/duplicated in my copy.
My
personal recommendations to those wishing to sample just a few poems
rather than reading the entire book front to back as I did are as
follows: 15, 1665, 1840, 733, 1386, 2370, 1223, 2213, 632, 740, 468,
457, 2231, 1972, 1190, 423, 840, 254, 292, 1122, 1952, 381, 1178,
2076, 1060, 766, 787, 524, 2301, 2070, 1958 and 1049.
I
would recommend this book to those interested in reading poetry,
Korean studies, and those wanting a change from the more familiar
Euro~American style poetry.
