Published in 1925, <em>Azaleas</em> is the only collection Kim Sowol (1902-1934) produced during his brief life, yet he remains one of Koreas most beloved and well-known poets. His work is a delightful and sophisticated blend of the images, tonalities, and rhythms of traditional Korean folk songs with surprisingly modern forms and themes. Sowol is also known for his unique and sometimes unsettling perspective, expressed through loneliness, longing, and a creative use of dream imagery-a reflection of Sowols engagement with French Symbolist poetry.</p><p><em>Azaleas</em> recounts the journey of a young Korean as he travels from the northern Pyongyang area near to the cosmopolitan capital of Seoul. Told through an array of voices, the poems describe the young mans actions as he leaves home, his experiences as a student and writer in Seoul, and his return north. Although considered a landmark of Korean literature, <em>Azaleas</em> speaks to readers from all cultures. An essay by Sowols mentor, the poet Kim Ok, concludes the collection and provides vital insight into Sowols work and life. This elegant translation by David R. McCann, an expert on modern Korean poetry, maintains the immediacy and richness of Sowols work and shares with English-language readers the quiet beauty of a poet who continues to cast a powerful spell on generations of Korean readers.</p>...842630Azaleas526554https://www.gandhi.com.mx/azaleas/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/503266/4b21bbef-ee73-467f-b74f-2b59938812c7.jpg?v=638744401321730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20079780231511452_W3siaWQiOiI5ZDc3YzE2ZS1kNmRhLTQ1OTctYjE3MC0zNTM2YmNiNDQ2ZWIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjU0MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjI3LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjUxMywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780231511452_<p>Available for the first time in English, <em>Azaleas</em> is a captivating collection of poems by a master of the early Korean modernist style.
