'One Must Live Like a Poem Once' ... Rest in Daily Life Shared by Poet Yang Gwangmo!

On the 12th at Poeun Central Library Eoulmaru, 'This Year's Lecture Concert' Wednesday Tasting Event

Pohang City will host the ‘2023 Lecture Concert’ Wednesday Poetry Listening Session on the 12th at 7 PM on the first floor of Poeun Central Library’s Eoulmaru, inviting poet Yang Gwang-mo under the theme ‘One Must Live Like a Poem Once.’

Poet Yang Gwang-mo conveys, "One must live at least once like a poem."

Poet Yang Gwang-mo graduated from Kyung Hee University’s Department of Korean Literature and published his first poetry collection in 2012. His works include poetry collections such as People Must Long for People and I Cried Like Snowflakes Because I Missed You, as well as a total of twenty-five books including self-development titles like Grasp the Pulse of Human Relationships and The Wisdom of Encounters.

The ‘2023 Lecture Concert,’ which offers citizens a ‘rest’ in their daily lives through meetings with the poet, will be held in the form of a ‘book concert’ with musical performances related to the theme. Attendees can enjoy poet Yang Gwang-mo’s poetry recitations along with a performance by the Lema Ensemble (piano: Gil Eun-young, clarinet: Choi Min-young, flute: Kim Ji-hye).

A Pohang City official stated, “In the hot summer, we hope that citizens tired from their daily lives will listen to the poet’s world and gain the strength to live like a poem once.”
