The 44th Korea Literature World Newcomer Awards Presented to Ju Chang-ho and Park Eun-hye

Korean Literature World announced on the 27th that poet Ju Chang-ho and essayist Park Eun-hye have been selected for the 44th Korean Literature World Newcomer Awards.

Poet Ju Chang-ho received high praise for his poems "Sea Fishing," "Feast of Spring," and "Harbor's Sorrows." Korean Literature World commented, "'Sea Fishing' metaphorically compared the subtlety of a large fish playing hide-and-seek with the float to the clamoring stirred by moonlight."

Essayist Park Eun-hye, through her essay "Cheonryun Jijeong," depicted the difficult times she endured living apart from her parents since college, yet expressed her deep affection for them. Korean Literature World praised, "The story movingly recounts how, upon hearing that her father in her hometown was injured after falling from a tree, she drove over 6 hours by car more than 500 km to Sokcho to reunite with her parents and cared for him with utmost devotion."

The winning works will be published in the fall/winter issue (November) of the comprehensive literary magazine Quarterly Korean Literature World. Support for book publication will be provided only to those who wish to publish.
