Everything Yearned for

Meer over het boek

Those who've read Rumi and want to know what's next will love Manhae. The happiness of meeting, the sadness of separation, the agony of longing and waiting, and the perfection of love in absence—Manhae's gift was to give these moments their due in terms both subtle and surprisingly evocative. Long a cultural hero in Korea, Manhae—whose work can be compared to that of Rumi and even Pablo Neruda—finally receives his proper audience in the West.
