Chae Ho-ki (Hangul: 채호기; born 13 October 1957) is a modern South Korean poet.

Life

Chae Ho-ki was born on October 13, 1957, in Daegu, South Korea and published his first poem in 1988 and since that time has been considered by South Korean critics as one of the major voices in Korean literature.

Work

If a desire for emotional union with the subject matter can be described as a general characteristic of Korean poetry, Chae departs radically from such a tendency to seek instead the complete obliteration of the boundary between the subject and the language in his poetry. His first volume of poetry, Ferocious Love, rejects love as an idea and an emotional state and focuses on its physicality and mortality: Шаблон:Poemquote

Desire itself is objectified and given a physicality in "The Sad Gay", in which a gay man transforms himself into another being through the mechanical process of replacing body parts: Шаблон:Poemquote

Chae's most successful attempt to create a oneness with another is judged to be his Water Lilies. In this volume of poetry, language acts as a corrosive agent that melts away the external shape of things to reveal their true essence by means of which a perfect union with others is achieved.
