From DMZ Colony to Phantom Pain Wings: Kim Hyesoon & Don Mee Choi

October 4, 2023

America/New_York
Lenfest Center for the Arts, 615 W. 129 St., New York, NY 10027 The Lantern (Eighth Floor)

This evening is devoted to the incendiary magic that arises when one brilliant poet translates another. For over a decade, poet Don Mee Choi (National Book Award winner, Guggenheim and MacArthur fellow) has been translating the fiercely iconoclastic and radically feminist poetry of Kim Hyesoon (Daesan Literary Award, Griffin Poetry Prize), one of the foremost poets of South Korea. The two will read from their works and speak about their writing and collaboration with Literary Translation at Columbia (LTAC) Director Susan Bernofsky.

Co-sponsored by Center for Korean Research at Columbia University and The Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities.
