Description

The Red Years: Forbidden Poems from Inside North Korea A rare glimpse into everyday life and survival in North Korea, this collection of poetry offers a poignant and evocative portrayal of the human spirit's capacity to endure under repressive regimes. Written by 'Bandi', one of the most distinctive and original dissident writers to emerge from North Korea, these poems are a testament to the power of resistance. Smuggled out of the country by supporters and relatives, Bandi's work is a remarkable achievement, providing insight into the complexities of life in North Korea. This is the first collection of his poetry to be made available in English, offering readers a unique perspective on a country often shrouded in secrecy. Through his words, 'Bandi' gives voice to the experiences of those living under one of the world's most restrictive regimes, shedding light on the resilience and determination of the human spirit.
