Human Time

This is the first English-language collection of poems by this award-winning South Korean poet. A selection of the poems in translation have appeared in Asymptote and on the Action Books blog: https://actionbooks.org/2021/08/kim-haengsook-five-poems/ The author is associated with the Korean Futurism school of poetry, which emerged in the 2000s when young poets began writing experimental works that broke with the lyrical tradition of South Korea. The editor and lead translator is well connected in both Asian literature and translation circles.
