Produktbeschreibung
Dubbed as "dew poet," Chonggi Mah launches his latest poetry book The Angel's Lament with his tale of a dew-like personal life, as hard and worthy as was. Dying and living have been his capital subject matters. In accordance with his idea, dying includes all sorts of human miseries; living encompasses triumphs in all virtuous human acts such as pure love and artistic endeavor. Naturally enough, this book is about all of the above. Only, this time he tops it all with the account of his hard-won, triumphant spiritual redemption. On his part it was his consistent quest, and on divine part a sacrificial gift of love, that brought about it. The multitudinous voices of the seasoned poet in his ripe eighties will haunt the reader to bring him back to the book again and again. Chonggi Mah was born in Tokyo, Japan. He graduated from Yonsei University, College of Medicine, in Seoul, Korea, and subsequently attended graduate school at Seoul National University.
