- Summary:
- Brief, stunning poems of love, consummated and unrequited, written by the kisaeng, a select class of educated courtesans of the Chosun, or Yi, Dynasty (1392-1910). These poems, handed down through generations, are a testament to the strength and poetic genius of the women who wrote them.
