He was born in 1926 and 2017 is the 70th anniversary of his recognition as a poet. He was a graduate of Korea University and taught modern British and American poetry there, up to and beyond his retirement in 1992. He translated many poems by 20th-century British and American poets into Korean and also translated a considerable number of modern Korean poems into English; some of the latter figured in our recent anthology "The Colors of Dawn." His own poems were relatively few in number because of his many other activities but a number of them can be found in Korean school textbooks. In 1988 he became President of the Korean Poets’ Association. In 1993 he was elected a member of the Korean Academy of Arts. Throughout his life he composed Hansi in the traditional manner, and he published a collection of his own English translations of Korean poems in Classical Chinese. I am especially sad because we had prepared together a volume of translations of his own poems which was due to be published soon and now he will not see it.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Brother Anthony</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
