Serrano (Editorial Verbum). Hoon KIM
Hoon KIM
before becoming a writer, was a journalist. Even then, his style and his peculiar views called enough attention. His intentionN writing about the diversity of life in compliance with the rules of journalism, he fathered a conflict within. His desire to express the essence of life and reality through the writing was perhaps so strong that he left his newspaper job for almost fifty years to fully concentrate on writing novels.
His "The Song of the Sword" is a novel told I Sunsin Korean hero, a sixteenth-century general Crucial prevailed in naval battles, with their brilliant strategies, forming an important eslabó n in the victory against Japan. In Korean history, is one of the personajes most respected, so that his face adorns a bank note. While still a student, Hoon KIM I read the diary of Sunsin, actually a war diary, the tormented inner life made a deep impression on the author that after this condition, rewrite thirty years ma s later, the figure of the hero. Countless passionate readers could dip into the book with the literary world. In "Song of the Sword", not only arises I Sunsin as a great hero to step up tight to victory, but as "a human being aware of the problem." There is a reflection on theirtime in relation to the problem of existence and perception of the suffering of the country and its habitants, affected by war. The author shows what's behind the image of a decorated hero of superlatives, so human torments I Sunsin.
In-seong
began his literary career with publición of his novel "By the time others" in 1980. His first collection of stories eponymous "Towards the outside time" (1983) that actually contains three works, counts among the most remarkable works of narrative literature chantmilitary opposition. Against this background, in the 70 and 80 dominated in Korean literature a trend toward realism as an act of political resistance and as social criticism. This was due in large part to the belief that radical change was more urgent than the development of literature itself. Yi In-seong
certainly maintained his criticism of the social circumstances, however, refused to bring literature to a political purpose. His intention was rather to deal with political repression through literature. In none of his novels,political reality in the foreground. Repression symptoms manifest, however, in latent form in the daily routine of the protagonists. Instead of directing the focus to political repression, the repression observed daily consciously works to a much deeper level.
KIM Kwang-Kyu 
Endless voices mingle in the bustle of urban swarm. The cry of the sellers is increasing in volume and people loudly defending their rights without getting truce. We live in a world that always occupy more exasperated voices to the foreground. Poet Kim Kwang-Kyu captures, however, milder tones, the sound of a flute or singing blade of a cricket, isolating them from the turbulence to achieve to find an ear from his poems. The song of nature that, though slight, is inaudible, it is perceived not only in a remote forest, but everywhere and at any time in our daily life, if someone wanted to pay attention n. This is not a grand aria, is rather a persistent opera recitative. If you learn to hear this sound, recognizing the absurdity and transience of crying in the world.
formal Sobriety emphasize content and let the poems isdescribed by Kim Kwang-Kyu. In this sense, the term "sobriety" implies that his first poetry avoids the overhead of metaphors or keys, achieving through clear language with simple images elucidate the tensions between people, society and nature. The poet uses an ironic and satirical, colloquial forms often applied to describe everyday scenes. His intention is relative and dismantle prejudices in society and in poetry, to illuminate the truth under the veil of the routine. This is shown especially in the prose poems, as "understandable" may be interpretedto as an act of resistance against the shallowness of the circumstantial reality and social repression. We exhibit no mercy as we quietly give in to any kind of oppression.
