Kim Hyesoon & Will Harris: Autobiography of Death
Thursday 19 June 2025, 7 p.m. · 59 minutes
Kim Hyesoon is one of South Korea’s foremost poets. Her groundbreaking and radically feminist poetry – ‘a transnational collision of shamanism, Modernism, and feminism’ (Griffin Prize Judges) – was translated into English by poet Don Mee Choi for over a decade.
We celebrated the latest of these translations – the Griffin Prize-winning masterpiece on mourning and survival, Autobiography of Death, published in the UK by And Other Stories – with an evening of readings from Kim and discussion of her work with Will Harris, whose latest collection is Brother Poem (Granta).
