Description
Poetry. This is a seventh in the bilingual (Korean-English) series co-published by Cross-Cultural Communications and Korean Expatriate Literature, edited by Yoon-Ho Cho & Stanley H. Barkan.
"Poet Eun Hee Pak's poems through her sensible language enable us to truly experience them. Her expressiveness through appropriate images, even on more abstract themes such as the recipes for happiness, allow the reader to more deeply understand her thoughts. Such lively poetic imagery pulls the readers deep into contemplation and cause them to be moved by her messages. Above all, Poet Eun Hee Pak distinguishes herself with her concision. As her poems are generally encapsulated within 4 to 5 stanzas, there is no room for the reader to grow bored. To seek true happiness, she shares that one must be humble, be the first to share, and leave greed behind. And instead of saying hurtful words, one should remain silent. Most importantly, these poems are greatly awe-inspiring, because they sing about life."—Yoon-Ho Cho
