EALC Forum: “Death, Mourning, and Poetry”

Jung Ja Choi, postdoctoral fellow, Washington University

Is it possible to write poetry in the face of tragedy? Dr. Choi's talk will explore this question while examining novelist-turned-cineaste Lee Chang-dong’s film Poetry. The film shows the power of a poetry that conjures up the dead and provides space and voice for marginalized and silenced women.
