Poet Seo Hyo-In

Korean Authors   Poet Seo Hyo-In A poet who delves into the wellspring of resilience and deep emotion   2025.07.07   People are adapting to the era of network-based videos with astonishing speed as if they’ve been living in it for years. These days, it’s rare to find someone who reads a letter or piece of writing with deep emotional engagement. Because of this, some believe that writing, and poetry in particular, is losing its value. Yet poetry still endures. That’s because there are poets who believe it remains one of the most powerful ways to express human emotions and desires; as long as those emotions and desires exist, so too will poetry.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends.

Korean Publishers   Window of Times Pierce like a spear, reflect like a window, or sing like a singer   2025.06.02   Why do you make books? Every publisher will have a different answer to this question. Yet, every answer has its own value, and our lives are thus enriched.

From Marx to Chomsky, from farmers to convenience store part-timers, it delves deeply and uncomplicatedly into the stories of those we mistake for too distant or too familiar - to make books as a spear, window, or a song (창 in the publisher’s Korean name, “시대의창,” can be used in three different ways) to the world.   The logo of publishing house Window of Times     It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends.
