Un Ko | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Many followers of Korean literature believe Ko Un - one of the country's most revered and prolific writers - will be nominated for a Nobel Prize. Once a Buddhist monk, then a political dissident, and always a poet, Ko Un is ""able to make the intensely personal into work having universal appeal and significance,"" writes David McCann, translator and professor of Korean literature.
