Kim Jong-ho

Kim Jong-ho made his literary debut as a poet by winning the Spring Literary Contests held by Kangwon Ilbo (poetry), Chosun Ilbo (children’s poetry) and Busan Ilbo (Sijo poetry). His major publications include A Round Island, Vacation of Abysmal Poverty and Covering about a Palm’s Length. His literary world is shaped by vitalism, or ecomagination, where he seeks a natural harmony between poetry and life and focuses on shaping the image of archetypal life.
