News at Eleven: "Love never dominates but serves,"

he [Ko Un] told The Korea Herald. "It is in fact about respecting and serving the person to the degree that you'd rather be dominated by him or her."

The poet, whose books have been translated and published in more than 20 countries worldwide, has recently published his very first collection of love poems, "Sanghwa: Love of a Planet." He has dedicated the book to his wife, professor Lee Sang-wha at Chung-Ang University, whom Ko calls as his goddess and savior.
