"Novelist, Poet, and Language of Han Kang"
This is the first poetry collection compiled by Han Kang, a well-known novelist who debuted as a poet in 1993. In fact, the sentences presented to readers by Han Kang's novels were not much different from those of her poems. For example, this scene. When I call up the file named 'My Heart', there is only one cool sentence waiting for me. She does not return. I erase that sentence and wait. I wait with all my might. Before the sky turns pale, she has recovered, I write the first sentence. (From 'Before It Turns Bright', 'Yellow Patterned Eternity')

The solid sentences that the author 'waited for with all his might' are included in 60 poems. Images such as dawn, silence, snow, evening, winter, and light. Emotions that require long reading and deep digestion, such as "Some kinds of sadness are hard without moisture, like a raw stone that cannot be polished by any knife." (Several Stories, 12th full text). "What is the meaning of living now // When I lay there asking myself this question, the sunlight fell on my face // I closed my eyes and stayed still until the light passed" (Full text of a song from the recovery period) The meaningfulness between the lines of the poem reminds me of the author's novel 'Recovering Human'. Language that reaches the wounded soul like light, the words of Han Kang.
