dc.descriptionMaija Rhee Devine loved literature and earned a Master’s in English. But she resisted for 25 years her husband’s encouragement to write about her life, a story that starts with her as an infant being given away by her biological family while they kept her twin brother. Once she began writing, The Voices of Heaven and her poetry book Long Walks on Short Days were published. She discusses the culture and history of South Korea that shaped her writing--the effects of patriarchy in all aspects of Korean life, gender and population imbalance issues, the impact of the Korean War, and the future of South and North Korea relations. She also talks about her works-in-progress on Comfort Women of WWII, all stories of the past keeping powerful rein on the present and future.en_US
dc.description.abstractMaija Rhee Devine responds to questions from Armando F. Sanchez, a producer of international digital education programs, about the start of her unintended writing career; the metamorphosis of The Voices of Heaven from a memoir to a novel; and poetry, nonfiction, and fiction writing on topics including Comfort Women of WWII. Into the dialogue, she weaves aspects of South Korean life as they relate to patriarchy, gender inequality, and the future of North and South Korea relations. Why write? To journey with readers through the tombs of human suffering and witness characters standing, powered by empathy and dignity.en_US
