<p>*The War Still Within* is the poet's sixth book, and contains 36 poems, 25 of which are reprinted from a range of literary venues, This collection also includes "Comfort Woman," her well researched and vividly imagined sequence of six poems based on the experiences of the Korean "comfort women" who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II.Ellen Bass, distinguished and widely published poet, essayist, and editor, writes this about "Comfort Woman": "Tanya Ko Hong captures in these spare, elegant poems, a world of cruelty, suffering, and survival. Here is beauty juxtaposed with pain so deep it's almost impossible to put into words. And yet this fine poet does just that. She breaks our hearts with the truth and astonishes us with her compassion."</p>
