Crow's Eye View: The Infamy of Lee Sang, Korean Poet

Rate this book
The poetry and fiction of Lee (also written in English as Yi) Sang premieres in this first English collection translated by Myong-Hee Kim with original artwork by Janice Olson. Revered in current day Korea, Lee Sang (1910-1937) outraged Korean society during his brief life with experimental and iconoclastic poetry. His subject matter, which includes references to Al Capone and Jesus Christ, reaches across international boundaries and speaks to readers in America.

I don't actually know what Crow's Eye View is about.
This was an odyssey to find the book in the first place, but I still haven't found one explanation of the poem cycle.
To anyone else searching for it, it's in this book. You can use Anna's Archive if you really can't find a physical copy.
Humbling experience. Thanks Yi Sang
