Description:
Join us for a lecture on Korean Poetry by Kang Dong-ho (Korean literature critic). This will be followed by a conversation with Poet Lee Min-ha.
Lee Min-ha began her literary career through the literary magazine Korean Modern Poetry in 2000. She has published the poetry collections Phantom Limbs, Musically Scandalously, Imitation Woods, All the Secrets of the World, Microclimate, and Melancholy and Listening. Through poetry, she examines the anxiety and pain of the everyday and the cracks of the invisible world. She lives amid slowness and quiet with her four cats.
Kang Dong-ho made his debut by winning the literary criticism category of the 2009 Chosun Ilbo Spring Literary Contest and has since been active as a literary critic, an editorial planner, and a university professor. He critically analyzes the terrain of contemporary South Korean literature with a focus on "literature and politics," and his recent research theoretically examines the relationship between neoliberal governmentality and literature. He has served on the editorial board for the quarterly Literature and Society and has won the Young Critic Award and the National Academy of Arts Young Artist Award. He is currently a professor of Korean language and literature at Inha University, and his works include The Square of Bygone Times: Contemporaneity of Literature and Politics of Criticism (Moonji Publishing, 2022).
