Description

For the Korean farmers of the second half of the twentieth century, Korea¡¦s shift from a farming to an industrial society imposed hardship on their lives. Shin Kyungrim, who understood their pain and suffering, recorded their feelings in A Love Song for the Earnest, a collection of over sixty poems that not only mirrors the lives of Korea¡¦s impoverished but also hopes for a brighter future to everyone in every social class. Within Shin¡¦s extraordinary sense of sympathy lies an innate humor and will to live, which makes his poems warm and positive. - from Amzon
