Enough to Say It's Far: Selected Poems of Pak Chaesam

Enough to Say It's FarJiwon and David McCann, her advisor from Harvard, have selected and translated the work of the late Korean poet Pak Chaesam. It's being published by Princeton University Press, and it's coming out soon!

The official publication date is July 2006, but it's already in the Library of Congress catalog, and up on the Princeton Univeristy Press website, which is calling it "[t]he first English translation of selected poems by one of the most important and unusual modern poets of South Korea."

Jiwon wrote a lovely forward, introducing the poet, and she chose the cover photo, too.
