will also be the paradox of paradoxes
but in reality I tell you
get poor people of today get tomorrow
poor countries not to America, get
agl ' American Indian
Somali women
news on the new century
*
the line of ants crossing the road in
horizon
perhaps to make us understand, little by little, today
tomorrow and again tomorrow
that this world is not
only in humans
burning light of noon the cuckoo stops singing *
some say you have memories of a thousand years ago
and who says he has already visited the thousand years in the future
a windy day I wait for the bus
*
to think of it more times I buried
why I
are many graves
ah, brag to be here!
*
today I spent my days as a story of someone
on the way home I watch the trees

Born in 1933 in the region of Cholla-do province, is probably the most controversial and certainly the most prolific writers of contemporary Koreans. He has published over one hundred volumes of poetry, novels, essays, translations and drama. His poetry ranges from short lyric two lines to vast epics, like the one dedicated to Mount Paektu (Paektu-san) in seven volumes. Born to a poor family
when Korea was under Japanese colonial rule, he studied the Chinese classics and soon cultivated their own language, especially trained by his grandfather (then in Korean school children were forced to study and speak Japanese). The sad experience of suffering during the Korean War led him later to become Buddhist monaco, but after ten years, disgusted by the corruption found in that environment, he abandoned the monastic life and returned to the world with an attitude deeply nihilistic, culminating in 1970 in a suicide attempt. Who later became one of the main spokesman of the artists and students who opposed the dictatorial regime then in force, was arrested several times around the year 1980 and suffered imprisonment. In 1982, at age 50, married and went to live in the countryside away from Seoul.
