Description

Hosted by Hamilton Smith and Sydney Smith, episode 27 features Soje reading their translations of Song Seung Eon's "To Dig in the Forest" and "Twisted Landscape Inside a Kind Heart," followed by a brief conversation.

Soje's reading of the poems, in both Korean and English, is met with a deep inquiry of translation's potential to effect radical change.

Soje's translations appear in NER's Korean Poetry Feature, titled "Where on Earth Did You Come From?—Seven South Korean Poets and Their Translators" of NER 45.2.
