"Even the Knots on Quince Trees" written by Ku Sang and translated by Brother Anthony of Taize is the latest edition from the English Translations of Korean Literature Series, books which are designed to help introduce foreign readers to the world of Korean literature. Ku Sang was born in Seoul on September 16, 1919, and spent most of his life as a journalist, (with periods spent in prison as a political prisoner) and also as a professor. In 1984, Ku Sang first published his remarkable cycle of poems, "Even the Knots on Quince Trees Tell Tales." These works, to which he continued to add in the years that followed, relate to his own personal life and also entail events of modern Korean history. He started the first poem of the cycle by recalling how, in the early 1920s, his family left Seoul and set off towards the northeastern region of what is now North Korea, the place he considers his lost home. His concluding poem in the book is the elegiac and memorable "A Kind of Last Wish." |
