I am looking for what all can be had of Yi Sang in English.

I have Walter Lew's wonderful Muae 1 (1995) collection, the slim volume
called "The Wings" that Jimoondang puts out (I'll never get used to sing
it called "the wings"), and Sarabande Books's Three Poets of Modern
Korea, and one or two things copied from anthologies .. and a dog eared
copy of Ogamdo in Korean so littered with hanja that i have resigned
myself to the sad fact that i will prolly never read Yi Sang in Korean.

Anyone have any other sources, published or private of Yi Sang's poems,
stories, essays, drawings?

Heck there may be more written on Yi Sang than there is of translations
of his actual works at this point. I am surprised that there is not more
available. I've had my ear to the ground on Yi Sang's works in
translation at least since the early 1990s. I thought there would be
more out by now! Gosh if it weren't for Walter Lew, i am not sure what
we'd have.

[ pdfs/docs/txts welcome :-) ]
