February 2, 2015 - Author Jang
Jin-sung, on his first visit to the U.S., discusses his new book,
Dear Leader Poet, Spy, Escapee—A Look Inside North Korea, which

his dramatic escape to China and South Korea. Jang will also read
selections from his poetry and share insights into North Korea
shaped by his experiences as well as contacts with North Korean
exiles and overseas officials. The evening’s discussion will be led
