Hwang Jini & Other Courtesan Poets from the Last Korean Dynasty
By Hwang Jini & Other Courtesan Poets.
Description
These Poems are deceptively simple, thwarted love remaining their paradigm. But they also represent what we might, with historical hindsight, call "feminist" views since they depict rare instances in which Korean women were permitted to address their own emotions. Call them courtesan blues from the Chosun Dynasty, and read them for both pleasure and edification. -Sam Hamill - from Amzon
