Poems for Planting Love
Anthology
Translated from Korean by Brother Anthony of Taize
Poems for Planting Love is an anthology translated by Brother Anthony of Taize from Korean, gathering Korean-language poetry connected to Korea, Republic of through an anthology of Korean poems arranged around love as seed, practice, and future growth. Its value comes from chorus rather than singular authorship, so I would not treat it as one poet's private weather. The better entrance is through love, planting, anthology, and the old hope that tenderness might be cultivated rather than merely found. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave room for wandering, disagreement, and surprise. Poems for Planting Love belongs in the translated poetry library because it gives readers a Korean many-voiced approach to affection, care, and lyric generosity. It gives a reader several doors into a tradition before asking them to choose only one.
