Born in Sangju, Korea in 1952, Lee Seong-bok earned his Ph.D. in French Language and Literature at Seoul National University, then taught French Literature at Keimyung University in the city of Daegu.

Since his first poem, “At a Familiar Brothel,” was published in 1977, he has impressed readers with his opulent images of free association, unexpected transformations charged with aroused feeling and calling. The poetic world he presents, sometimes flamboyantly and sometimes serenely, is composed of events or scenes revealing the secrets of lives.

In 2003, he published Ah, Mouthless Things, now translated for the first time. Other books include When Does a Rolling Stone Awaken? (1980), South Sea Silk Mountain (1986), The End of Summer (1990), Memories of a Holly Tree (1993), Traces of Waves on the Moon’s Brow (1993/2012), Raeyeoaebandara (Come and Share Sorrow) (2013), and a series of essays in three volumes: Poetry of the Polar Regions, Words at Odds, and Endless Blooming (2015).

Poet and translator Eun-Gwi Chung is a professor of English Literature and Culture at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul. Myung Mi Kim is a professor of English at SUNY-Buffalo and Director of their Poetics Program. Brother Anthony of Taiz� teaches English Literature at Sogang University, Seoul. He is now an Emeritus Professor there, as well as a Chair-Professor at Dankook University, and President of the Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch.
