Young-hee Won lives and works and writes in Seoul. Here is an excerpt from one of her recent poetry notes: 'Your subject "life's vicissitudes" makes me think lots of things. Yes, I miss the sea and the unpolluted forest if these could exist in this earth under this heaven. Seoul and London, as much as other big cities, are miserably dirty in many ways. Then why can't we leave the city? You know what? The reason is "I love Seoul as much as you love London". I am writing my dissertation and this semester teaching 17th-century poetry, especially the Metaphysical Poets: John Donne, Andrew Marvell, Herbert, Vaughan, . . . and Milton, too. I love it all except the busy schedule. College kids always seem full of too many questions, which is better than nothing, . . . I mean their being too silent.' |
