Podcast appearances and mentions of kim hyesoon

The second in a series of conversations about the poet Alice Notley, who passed away on May 19, 2025. The poet and critic Joyelle McSweeney joins the podcast to talk about selections from Notley's epic The Descent of Alette. (A brief note on audio quality: we listen to three recordings of Notley reading from her book during this episode. The volume on playback of those recordings seems somewhat low to me—sorry!—but hopefully listeners will be able to adjust the volume on their devices so as to hear Notley well enough.)Guggenheim Fellow Joyelle McSweeney is the author of ten books of poetry, drama and prose, a well-known critic, and a vital publisher of international literature in translation. McSweeney's latest book, Death Styles, appeared from Nightboat Books in Spring 2024; her previous title, Toxicon and Arachne (2020), was called "frightening and brilliant" by Dan Chiasson in the New Yorker and earned her the Shelley Memorial Prize from the Poetry Society of America. Her 2014 essay collection, The Necropastoral: Poetry, Media, Occults, is widely regarded as a visionary work of eco-criticism. Her debut poetry volume, The Red Bird, inaugurated the Fence Modern Poets Series in 2001. With Johannes Göransson, she co-edits the international press Action Books, which has built readerships for a diverse array of US and international authors from Griffin Prize winners Kim Hyesoon and Don Mee Choi to Daniel Borzutzky and Raúl Zurita. She lives in South Bend, Indiana and teaches at the University of Notre Dame.You can see Alice Notley read the entirety of The Descent of Alette in a series of recordings made over two nights at The Poetry Center at SFSU.

ÖVERSÄTTNING: Jennifer Hayashida, Andjeas Ejiksson UPPLÄSNING: Anna Azcarate DIKTSAMLING: Autobiografi av död (20TAL, 2022)MUSIK: Fabian Römer: FernEXEKUTÖR: Slovakiska radions symfoniorkester. Dirigent: Vladimir Matrinka och Allan Wilson

En av Sydkoreas mest nyskapande och hyllade poeter gästade Internationell författarscen 5 december 2022. Kim Hyesoon är Sverigeaktuell med diktsamlingen "Autobiografi av död" i översättning av Jennifer Hayashida och Andjeas Ejiksson. "Autobiografi av död" består av fyrtionio sorge­dikter. Kim Hyesoons poesi uppehåller sig i gränslandet mellan liv och död, där jaget upplöses och träder in i ett okänt du. Den engelska översättningen "Autobiography of Death" belönades 2019 med en av litteraturvärldens finaste utmärkelser, Griffin Poetry Prize. År 2022 fick Kim Hyesoon det svenska Cikadapriset, som delas ut till minne av Harry Martinson. Kim Hyesoon (född 1955) är en av Sydkoreas mest spännande poeter. Hennes poesi tar avstamp i Koreas historia, omförhandlar traditionella mytologier och den kvinnliga poetens sökande efter en plats i språket och världen. I samarbete med förlaget 20TAL. Från 5 december 2022 Jingel: Lucas Brar

Greatly affected by the tragic Sewol Ferry incident of 2014, when more than 300 Koreans, mainly schoolchildren, lost their lives, Kim Hyesoon composed Autobiography of Death, a cycle of forty-nine poems – one for each day the dead must await reincarnation – to produce a deeply moving work for the children lost to this disaster. Kim speaks to Sonia Piscayanti about how we give a voice to death and trauma.

Co-presented by the Hugo House, in Seattle, WA, this event took place at the Sorrento Hotel's Fireside Room. DMZ Colony is available here, and at independent bookstores everywhere.

In this episode of Think Aloud we turn our attention to poetry, and sit down with the London poet and founder of poetry collective Out-Spoken, Anthony Anaxagorou. With him we delve into how poetry can rewrite history, the ways in which he has developed and established his own voice, and how, when this is not a poem, he is not a poet. We also hear from South Korean poet Kim Hyesoon, for whom breaking established rules has been key to her poetry, on why the language of women comes from more than just the mouth. "I mean as a kid I absolutely despised poetry...it was as dry as trigonometry… it was like looking at a traffic cone” 
 ANTHONY ANAXAGOROU Out-Spoken’s year-long residency at Southbank Centre continues on 20 June with poetry from Ilya Kaminsky, Kei Miller and Sabrina Mahfouz and live music from Gabriella Vixen and Lloyd Llewellyn. Book tickets and find out more: http://bit.ly/2MgMvgH

After a one year hiatus, Sean, Isaac, and Anastasia are BACK! In the episode, they discuss how reading translated poems isn't that different (but also, is different) from reading poems in your native language. Poems discussed include "Red Scissors Woman" by Kim Hyesoon, translated from the Korean by Don Mee Choi; "After the Flood," by Arthur Rimbaud, translated from the French by John Ashbery; and "What does the Train Carry?" by Aleksey Porvin, translated from the Russian by our very own Isaac Wheeler. (Kim poem: https://aaww.org/kim-hyesoon-two-poems/) (Rimbaud poem: http://sharingpoetry.tumblr.com/post/32497716166/arthur-rimbaud-after-the-flood)

'Mommy Must be a Fountain of Feathers' by Kim Hyesoon, translated by Don Mee Choi and read by Francesca Chabrier. 'Mommy Must be a Fountain of Feathers' appears in the collection of the same name published by Action Books in 2008. More from Francesca Chabrier can be found at https://www.francescachabrier.com

In her first full-length collection, A Cruelty Special to Our Species (Ecco Books, 2018), Emily Jungmin Yoon examines forms of violence against women. At its core these poems delves into the lives of Korean comfort women of the 1930s and 40s, reflecting on not only the history of sexual slavery, but also considering its ongoing impact. Her poems beautifully lift the voices of these women, helping to make them heard and remembered — while also providing insight into current events, environmentalism, and her own personal experiences as a woman in the world. During her interview, Emily Jungmin Yoon recommends Autobiography of Death (New Directions Books, 2018), written by Kim Hyesoon and translated by Don Mee Choi, and Hardly War (Wave Books, 2016) by Choi. Andrea Blythe is a co-host of the New Books in Poetry podcast. She is the author of Your Molten Heart / A Seed to Hatch (2018) a collection of erasure poems, and coauthor of Every Girl Becomes the Wolf (Finishing Line Press, 2018),  a collaborative chapbook written with Laura Madeline Wiseman. She serves as an associate editor for Zoetic Press and is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association. Learn more at: www.andreablythe.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

She is one of Korean poetry’s foremost translators and her translations of Kim Hyesoon are published by Bloodaxe. Her last collection of poetry, Hardly War was published to acclaim in 2016. The New York Times said of Hardly War: ‘Deliberately and excitingly difficult in both its style and its subject matter, Don Mee Choi’s second collection, Hardly War, sees its author operating as an archaeologist as much as a poet. Choi’s use of hybrid forms — poetry, memoir, opera libretto, images and artifacts from her father’s career as a photojournalist in the Korean and Vietnam Wars — lets her explore themes of injustice and empire, history and identity, sifting through the detritus of family, translation, propaganda and dislocation.’ http://www.donmeechoi.com About Denise Riley: Denise Riley is a critically acclaimed writer of both philosophy and poetry. Her books include War in the Nursery [1983]; ‘Am I that Name?’ [1988]; The Words of Selves [2000]; Denise Riley: Selected Poems [2000]; The Force of Language, with Jean-Jacques Lecercle [2004]; Impersonal Passion [2005], Time Lived, Without Its Flow [2012] and Say Something Back [2016].
