“Somewhere, no matter how hard you try to hide it, there will be a light that will not recede.” Poet Shin Dong-ok’s 『Encore』

The 30th collection of poems in the K-Poet series, which meets together in Korean and English, has been published, and poet Shin Dong-ok’s 『Encore』 has been published. Since his debut in 2001, poet Shin Dong-ok has published poetry collections such as 『Akgong, Anarchist Guitar』, 『Laugh, Dance, and Summer』, 『Dream of Becoming a Whale』, 『The Night Will Continue』, and 『Reboot of Prank in the Moon Country』. The poet, who sang of the revolution as a ‘musician’ and a ‘poet’, plays new sentences in this collection of poems, confronting the past times.
