[New Release] 'The Truth of Words' View original image


◆The Essence of Words = This book poses the ironic secrets of life through enigmatic "poetry" and answers with essays that offer deep comfort and insight. For example, it works like this: first, you read a mysterious poem without a title and guess the word that comes to mind. Then, you turn the page to compare whether the word you thought of matches, read the essay, and finally indulge in the author's one-line life sentence and illustration that encompass both the poem and the essay.


Broadcaster Lee Geum-hee recommended, "If you think about life over a cup of coffee, this book is worth opening," and poet Ryu Geun praised, "A heart that flows far without being trapped in the wicked net of language brings a clear constellation." The author comforts readers by saying, "I washed and hung out the past week. I hung myself (...) You endured well. Good job. Pat pat."
