From the publishers’ website:
Kim Sa-in is a devotional poet who ably serves “all the unconsidered things in the world”–a cosmos flower, a turtle dove cooing near a firing range, the way a mourner offers a cup of wine to a widow. His eye for ordinary details that resonate in their new settings, his ability to discern social and political patterns in seemingly random events, his determination to plumb the depths of experience mundane and otherwise–these make him a singular presence in Korean poetry.
