Download As PDF : Sungsook Korean War Poems Portia S Choi Gita Lloyd Books
Sungsook (Poems of the Korean War) is authored by Portia Choi, who as a young child observed first-hand the horrors of that conflict. Choi writes honest, heartfelt poems that portray the courage and resilience of refugees struggling to survive, without sacrificing the charm of the little girl. Rich in sounds and images, the poems recall the terrors of war as well as the pleasures shared with a sister and loving mother. As an adult in California, having immigrated to Los Angeles at age eight, Choi now befriends Korean War veterans and tells their stories too. In this remarkably beautiful poetry, the author draws us into wartime as if we were experiencing it ourselves, step by step and mile by mile.
Sungsook Korean War Poems Portia S Choi Gita Lloyd Books
The author is my friend.Sungsook is a mix opening with a poem about a little girl's desire to protect her doll from the ravages of war including starvation.
Many of the pieces are heavily informed by the author's Christianity; her father was a minister who continued theological studies in the United States which separated him from his wife and daughters. At one point he sent a collection of cosmetics to the family who were subsisting on what they could sell to others. I found this poem quite touching.
