We are proud to announce the following recent titles available from the
Cornell East Asia Series. Order information follows announcement of titles.

FARMERS' DANCE, by Shin Kyong-nim
Translated by Brother Anthony of Taize and Young-Moo Kim
	Shin Kyong-Nim’s first volume of poems, Farmers’ Dance (Nong-mu), marked a
major new step in the development of modern Korean poetry when it was
published in 1973. The life of Korea’s oppressed rural masses had never
before been highlighted in such a manner. For years, the poet had shared
that life as a laborer and salesman, and the poems reflect a deep
identification with classes and situations that were normally not
considered suitable subjects for poetry. This volume offers a full
translation of the poems of the expanded 1975 edition, making available in
English for the first time one of the most influential works of modern
Korean poetry.
