“Thus Spoke: Kim Hyesoon, Fi Jae Lee, Jack Jung,” is the inaugural iteration of the Hee Kyung Lee Kwon Speaker Series that spotlights significant voices in Korean women’s literature, hosted by the East Asian Languages and Literatures Department. For this event, we have invited three exciting guest speakers: * Kim Hyesoon, internationally renowned and widely translated feminist poet, winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry, among numerous other honors. * Fi Jae Lee, sculptor, painter, and installation artist; regular contributor of artwork for Kim Hyesoon’s books. * Jack Jung, translator, poet, and educator, currently translating Kim Hyesoon’s collection Thus Spoke No (tentative English title). We hope this rare and special opportunity to meet and hear from a prominent contemporary Korean poet as well as an up-and-coming visual artist and poet/translator will interest many of our community members at UH.
