Description
Up until the 17th century, the bulk of Korean poetry was written in Chinese, the language of poets, scholars and monks. This anthology includes 100 poems spanning over 1000 years. Lovers of Chinese and Japanese poetry will delight in these translations, which capture both the elegant simplicity and emotional complexities of the originals.
