Since my mother did not have anything, I thought she would fill someone’s heart more than others. I sincerely hope the story of this insignificant individual can give a sense of comfort to someone with a lonely and hungry heart. I was able to find a sense of consolation before others and by a lot. In addition to what I gained, I released my mother’s obituary collection. (Preface written by author Lee Soon-Ja’s daughter)”The above is the preface written to the essay At 60, as I Became a Sage Again (Humanist Publishing Group), released on May 9, 2022.

Poet Na Tae-Joo

Korean Authors   Poet Na Tae-Joo Poetry, a language of longing shaped by what is missing   2025.12.01   Poetry is the most distilled form of language - words that can express the heart with absolute clarity. How romantic is someone who knows a poem by heart? And, what if so many people know the very same poem? If we were to choose the single poem most widely known among Koreans, it would likely be Na Tae-Joo’s Wildflower. Ever since it appeared on the well-known message board on the exterior of the Kyobo Life building in Gwanghwamun, it has become a nationally beloved poem - yet it continues to linger deeply and resonate with quiet force. The following is an interview with poet Na Tae-Joo, who has engraved poetry in the hearts of the Korean people for more than 55 years.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends.

A Korean Literary Translator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   A Korean Literary Translator’s Pick   2022.06.07     When was the last time you read a book about environmental issues that wasn’t written by an American or a European? Calling South Korea a part of the Global South or the Global Majority would be a bit of a stretch at this point in history, but we still have a unique perspective to contribute to world environmental discourse as the first country in modern history to transition into an international donor nation. There are still millions of Koreans who remember what it was like to starve and have to prioritize economic growth over environmental sustainability. South Korea will always have something interesting to say in any economic growth discourse, and this book, a science bestseller in a nation full of scientists, is our latest hope for a consensus that will save the planet.The Earth Is Fine: It’s the Humans Who’re Doomed (Across Books) is by...
