Bedtime I I Riverbed

“希 true morn will come”
 

For the tiger, for the bear, for the children, for the lovers.

These poems are reflections in water. They are Korean folk retellings rippling with “Hanja”; Classical Chinese characters representing ideas incorporated into the Korean language with Korean meaning & pronunciation. Each of the four poems in this book is preceded by a key; a conglomeration of the Hanja characters used in the text, their native Korean “Hangul” counterparts, Latin alphabet renderings of their pronunciation, with potential translations & associations.
