In contrast to the strident political protests found in the poetry of many of his contemporaries, Pak Chaesam's work is characterized by intimate portraits of place, nature, childhood, and human relationships, and by indirection, nostalgia, and reflectiveness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Often focused upon the border of this world and some other, Pak writes with a spareness of presentation but a cornucopia of imagery, meticulously exploring objective and subjective realms of existence and memory. Encouraging the reader to see and listen, and to allow the sensory to reshape the analytical, Pak's poetry opens up new realms of experience. A fellow Korean poet described Pak's poetry as being \"the most exquisite expression of the Korean sense of han,\" or melancholy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chaesam Pak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation #56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691124469","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710531342473,"sku":"9780691124469","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e939b087-027c-422e-980a-06eaf2d6ae32.jpg?v=1719538058","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/enough-to-say-its-far-selected-poems-of-pak-chaesam-9780691124469","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
