The fifth of six evening events during London Book Fair week, which unfortunately overlaps with a session with Shin Kyung-sook, Krys Lee and Quaisra Shahraz at Asia House.
Reading and Discussion with Kim Hyesoon
10 April, 20.00-21.00
Join us for an evening of poetry by one of South Korea’s most important contemporary poets, Kim Hyesoon. Her experimental, unsettling poetry combines extreme, surreal and often violent imagery with a radical exploration of the female experience. This reading is hosted by Modern Poetry in Translation (MPT) to celebrate new publications of Kim Hyesoon’s work in the spring issue, and a new Bloodaxe edition of Kim Hyesoon’s poetry I’m OK, I’m Pig!
