Kim Seung-hee

Kim Seunghui (; born March 1, 1952) is a South Korean poet, essayist, and novelist. Kim is currently a professor of Korean Literature at Sogang University.

Work The early work of Kim Seunghui is marked by a penchant for formalism, or 'art for art sake' and the poet's utilization of fierce, unabashed language. Her later poetry, however, evolved towards the exploration of quotidian reality and questions of perennial existence in freedom.
