This author noted "A poet is born within the cracks of crime" in his poem "A Poet's Heart." Almost all of the English translations of his works are completed by Brother Anthony of Taize. He wrote a fictionalization of the Flower Garland Sutra in which the title boy seeks knowledge from fifty three different masters to become a Bodhisattva. This author's most famous poem suggests "throwing away like rags all we've had for decades" and notes that "in dark daylight the target is rushing towards us." This author read that poem, "Arrows," at a series of protests in the seventies until he was arrested in 1980. While imprisoned, this former monk and author of the novel Little Pilgrim decided to write a poem about every person he had ever met. For 10 points, name this author of Ten Thousand Lives, a Korean poet perpetually on the Nobel Prize short list.
