At times sparse and allusive, his poems use blank space and other stylistic considerations to convey a voice and thought that ranges from the contemplative to the surreal and absurd. Moon\u0026#39;s poems suggest Buddhist ideologies, natural images, and Korean temples, as the collection explores individual experiences within the context of a search for understanding a greater whole. While Korea is certainly the setting of these poems, the works remain largely free of cultural-specific imagery and are, instead, naturalistic or universal. This first bilingual edition is a critical resource for students, poets, translators, and general readers alike. \n\n\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Note: English-Korean Bilingual Edition.\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt;","author_name":"Moon Tae-jun and Moon Tae-jun","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/moon-tae-jun","authors":[{"name":"Moon Tae-jun","url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/moon-tae-jun"},{"name":"Moon Tae-jun","url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/moon-tae-jun"}],"thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/edition/32805527/a82839d01bab04331d547935313988ef9a677853.jpeg","thumbnail_width":313,"thumbnail_height":500}
