Myung In Kim contemplates the reality he sees before him and the mystical qualities of nature in his collection of poems entitled Ripples. The reader is there with him as he wanders the streets catching glimpes of everyday life, the raw power of the sea and familiar warmth of the banal. Dae-Tong Huh translates Ripples with the sensitivity of a painter’s sable brush in this diverse cross section of Contemporary Korean Poetry.
