	Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content.
		Poetry can be differentiated most of the time from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a more expansive and less condensed way, frequently using more complete logical or narrative structures than poetry does.
		In preliterate societies, poetry was frequently employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, law and other forms of expression or knowledge that modern societies might expect to be handled in prose.

	The Koreana - Korean Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Korean music is very special, using 3 beats per measure, and its unique pattern is echoed in the rich tradition of dance.
		The formal Korean alphabet of 10 vowels and 14 consonants was created in 1443, well before other Asian cultures had systemic ways of writing, and allowed much Korean poetry and song to be recorded and passed down through the centuries.
		Korean art and culture is dramatic, full of energy, and very expressive, and can be seen as springing from the nature of the land itself.

		Korean dialectology (esp. the dialect(s) preserved by the ethnic Korean minority in Russia and the former USSR, and 'kyop'o Korean' or diasporic varieties of Korean, in general).
		The articulations of Korean nationalist thought that Andre Schmid excellently analyzes in Korea between Empires coincided with the frustration of the Ilchinhoe as "populist reformers." When colonialism abrogated the "reforms" defined in indigenous terms, it diluted the political significance of "reforms" and made them secondary to the issue of national sovereignty.
		It is the exceptions, the few times that the Japanese wrote on the hokusen (northern Korean) or the nansen (southern Korean), that enlighten contemporary historians most as to the images that Japanese, Westerners, and even Koreans held of the various regions of the peninsula during this period.

	Korean Literature (Character of Korean Literature, Korean Classical Literature, Modern Literature of Korea)
		Korean modern literature was formed against the background of the crumbling feudalistic society of the Choson Dynasty, the importation of new ideas from the West, and the new political reality of rising Japanese imperial power in East Asia.
		The poetry of Yi Yuk-sa and Yun Dong-ju was also important in that it captured the emotion of the people in their resistance to Japanese imperialism.
		Korean literature was largely unknown to the world until the 1980s, when translations of Korean literary works began to appear in foreign countries.

	An outline history of Korean poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Written poetry was part of a life-style financed by crushing levels of taxation and extortion; the poor people frequently starved while their governors recited their latest gems about the sound of wind in the pine trees.
		Poetry cannot be separated from the conventions and theories that produce it, and this is especially the case of such a vast body of texts as the Korean and Chinese scholars of the last two thousand years produced.
		Poetry of resistance at the Korean level is not part of the English experience because no one has ever tried to abolish England or the English language, not even William the Conqueror.

	From Korean History to Korean Poetry: Ko UN and Ku Sang - Questia Online Library
		Because the Korean language is inaccessible to almost all nonKorean readers, the original poems must remain unquoted and unfelt.
		Korean culture and the evolutions of Korean poetry are similarly remote.
		The initial response to Ku Sang's work may be that it is not very "poetic." That is certainly the general Korean critics' evaluation of his writing, in a country where poetry is frequently expected to be almost incoherently emotional.

	Korean Literature in Translation: A Trio Virtuoso, reviewed by Fouser
		Though translators and aficionados of Korean literature frequently lament the state of Korean literature in translation compared with that of Chinese or Japanese literature, the three works reviewed are cause for hope because, they match the quality of some of the best translations of Chinese and Japanese literature being done today.
		In recent years, a number of translations of poetry by one author have appeared, but novels or collected works by one author are still relatively rare.
		These differences imply a degree of tension in Korean writers of Chinese poetry who were confined at once by the language of classical Chinese and the desire to express feelings through poetry.

		The Korea Institute is pleased to announce the establishment of a new permanent fund in honor of the late Professor Wagner (1924-2001).
		Drawing examples from horror films that allegorize the disintegration of masculinity and patriarchy in the 1970s, emotional exploitations of human relationships in the 1980s, and brutally painful portraits of degraded intellectuals in the 1990s, this semester-long series presents a compelling cross-section of an increasingly vital national cinema.

	Sijo
		More ancient than haiku, the Korean SIJO shares a common ancestry with haiku, tanka and similar Japanese genres.
		The sijo may be narrative or thematic, introducing a situation or problem in line 1, development or "turn" in line 2, and resolution in line 3.
		Because it was meant to be sung, and because of the nature Hangul (the Korean script), the structure of sijo often resembles biblical phrases.

		Today many Korean novels and films have portrayed the Hwarang as a zealous military strategist whose unflinching goal was the unification of Silla and protection of the kingdom.
		The oldest recorded Korean poetry is called hyangga, of which only twenty-five are extant: 14 in the Samguk Yusa (1285), and 11 in the "Life of Great Master Kyunyo" (1075).
		Today, Koreans look to the golden age of Silla and the exploits of its great Hwarang warriors, as exmplars of all that is honorable, just and courageous.

	Poetic Diversities: Social Dimensions of Korean Poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		When we translate modern Korean poetry, we are attempting to bring works written within one particular poetic tradition, and in a very specific linguistic, social, cultural, and historical context, to the attention of readers who cannot be assumed to be familiar with either tradition or context.
		Although obviously many individual Korean poems, well translated, can touch readers without any need for them to know about such things, a variety of deeper responses may be evoked by a greater awareness of some of the contexts and issues that have determined the evolutions of Korean poetry in the present century.
		During the Korean War he was forcibly conscripted into the North Korean Army and as a result was interned by the South for a time in the prisoner-of-war camp on Koje Island.

		Throughout these years, people lived lives, wrote poems, whoe literary movements, avant-gardes, people's poetries, folk poetries, underground and oppositional poetries, Buddhist and Christian poetries, appeared and disappeared, and some remarkable poets made poems from their century's violent requiem.
		Korea’s modern poetry is filled with many different voices and styles, subjects and views, moves and countermoves, yet it still remains relatively unknown outside of Korea itself.
		This is in part because the Korean language, a rich medium for poetry, has been ranked among the most difficult for English speakers to learn.
