That Summer's End

That Summer’s End by acclaimed South Korean poet Lee Seong-bok, translated by Anton Hur, brings together 106 poems blending introspection, Seon Buddhism and French Symbolism. Drawing on images of mountains, rivers, forests, flowers and other elements of the natural world, Lee reflects on youth, love, fear, family, grief, ageing and impermanence. Contemplative and deeply attentive to the inner life, this collection explores suffering, longing and the changing landscapes of human experience.
