Dark Miracle (K-poet 47)

This book is an English collection of twenty poems translated from Jeong Hyun-woo’s 검은 기적. In this volume, the poet traces the world of lingering light and shifting forms as he passes through the absence of his beloved mother, remembering from the lowest and most enduring place of the heart. Memories bound to the body-like cucumber soap, pomegranates, and branches-reappear as sensory scenes where sorrow and recovery seep into one another. In the space called Roseville, the places where light once brushed past are reborn as threads of connection and new forms of life. Moving toward the first sentence of a story that will never be erased, this collection reveals the distilled light of a heart that continues on even after loss.
