Pleased to present my first artist on artist conversation.

Episode 1:

Writer and Chinese Translator Hyun Woo Kim and Writer/Poet/Photographer Buku Sarkar about Women stalkers, Russian Literature, Writing and Translation, Political Correctness - I think we covered pretty much everything.

Hyun Woo Kim is one of the most talented people I’ve met here on Substack. His translations of Chinese poems have gotten a lot of attention so you may know of him already- but hopefully I give you the other Hyun Woo Kim — the writer, the person. The conversation has been transcribed below specifically to be read. But the original audio recording is down below as well. - Buku Sarkar
