Song Sugwon, also Song Soo-Kwon ( Korean: 송수권, March 15, 1940 – April 4, 2016), [1] was a modern South Korean writer. [2]
Song Sugwon was born on March 15, 1940, in Goheung County, South Jeolla Province. [3] Song attended Suncheon Normal School and Goheung Junior High School [3] before from Sorabol Arts College with a degree in Creative Writing. Song worked at the Kwangju Yogwang Girls Middle School as both a teacher and an educational researcher. [4]
Of Song Sugwon's poetry, the Korea Literature Translation Institute wrote:
Bitterness is the most salient sentiment in this Song Sugweon’s work; but his poetry emphasizes not the typical sentiment of a weak bitterness giving rise to self-contempt, but rather, within that bitterness, a dignified masculine identity of immanent intimacy and power. He has published many works that succeed in preserving the flavor and style of the southern dialects, designed to inspire the people through a consciousness of history and regional differences. [5]
Song's work centers on the lives of common people, although Song does not see live as a confrontation between have and have-nots, and Song's work follows the lines of classical Korean lyricism. Having lived in South Jeolla Province most of his life, including at the time of his death, Song Sugwon was able to infuse his poetry with the regional culture. [4]
