[KS] more Yi Sang questions

[kevin parks]

 Thank you Professor Lee,

I will look for the 이상문학전집 from 소명출판사 when I return to Seoul
in a couple weeks. I know there are many poems discovered in the 60s and
after and the authenticity of several pieces are in doubt, etc. But,
based on nothing scholarly, I would be kind of surprised if 1931 was not
authentic. Or perhaps I shouldn't be as it seems like practically a
remix of themes and poetic maneuvers from other series (esp.
ogamdo/chogamdo).

I had the 김윤식 in my paws at one point and walked away from it. Silly
me. I will look again for that as well. I actually (unless I am
scrambled) pretty sure that before the last 2 rearrangements of
Yong-poong moon go, saw it on a shelf there. I should look see or I am
sure I can find it in the library.

/*Self-Portrait*/ is more mysterious to me, but as a statement it nicely
resonates with the famous quote of Yi Sang referring to himself as a “a
vagrant who slipped into a crack between the centuries with the sole
intent of collapsing there” yet another quote I wouldn't mind
sourcing... but which I found rendered in English by Walter Lew in
/Poems for the Millennium: the University of California Book of Modern &
Postmodern Poetry/.

Thank you for the taking the time to respond.
