Dear friend

Poet Souad Al Sabah’s book of poems has finally published in Korean by The AsiaN. Ko Un, the renowned Korean poet who has been shortlisted as a candidate for the Nobel Prize of Literature several times, has written his review as below.

“My eyes suddenly opened!

Souad Al Sabah’s poems float upon the long river of time. The sounds of truth are sloshing about.

Souad Al Sabah’s poems conceive the sunset’s horizon reminiscing over the midday sun.

The cries of her poems are only possible as a mother.

My chest starts to burn. One cannot help but revere her identity, resistance to her homeland and altar of devotion.

Her declaration for women is a declaration for humanity.

Through her works, some will meet Palestinian Darwish and some will meet Nasir, who is reaching for the third world.

Souad Al Sabah is a glory of the Arab world.”

Our top article of this week’s newsletter is Souad Al Sabah’s poem and a collection of reviews of her book of poems. The AsiaN plans to find poems and novels of high literary quality of each country and publish them as a book. Once they are published in English, the hidden literary treasures can easily be shared with all.

See you again next week.

Lee Sang-ki, CEO & Publisher of the AsiaN
