Korea: Bilingual Edition - Paperback

Han-Jae Lee's book Korea is a comprehensive collection of his poetry presented in both English and Korean language. The Korean born writer, Han-Jae Lee's poems express a deep appreciation and kinship with all things -- both natural and manmade. All objects -- from flowers to tires to tattoos -- carry equal weight and sensibility. All are vital and animated, as if we have truly arrived at "a beatific place," where, lulled by the quiet understatement of the writing, we may find ourselves "forgetting every inextricably bound thing of this world." The experience of reading these poems is at once like enjoying both the ephemeral and sensual, and the boundaries that blur between. With many earnest questions and imbued with a sense of longing, the poet encourages us to reflect and ponder our world and our place in it.
