A debut English-language collection of hopeful and carefully attentive poems by one of South Korea's most lauded young poets.

This collection offers a selection of poems from Sin Yong-mok's earlier collections, intended to serve as an illustration of his evolution as a poet, alongside a complete translation of the poems from his fourth collection, When Someone Called Someone, I Looked Back. Beautifully translated by Brother Anthony of Taizé with close attention to the sonorous aspects of Sin's lines, this collection also captures the larger themes within Shin's work and his attention to the spirit of community and peaceful coexistence with others. These are poems with a powerful belief in humanity and the beauty of the smallest hopes.
