This Side of Time: Poems by Ko Un by Ko Un

Mind is sometimes registered in Buddhist terms--Buddhist practice being part of Ko Un's background. Ko Un writes spare, short-line lyrics direct to the point, but often intricate in both wit and meaning. Ko Un has now traveled worldwide and is not only a major spokesman for all Korean culture, but a voice for Planet Earth Watershed as well." --Gary Snyder Ko Un is one of the most respected poets in Korea and has been nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
