[New Release] 'Pachungnyu Simjang'

◆Reptile Heart= In the world of poets such as Kim Sohyeong, Kim Junghwan, and Lee Ji-a, the breath between the lines and the texture of language are captured. The keyword is 'reptile.' They sensuously embrace the ever-changing poetry and record the physical resonance of language. Serving as both commentary and essay, it points to another source of poetry through private moments. It caresses the flesh of poetry and weaves a net of images, shaping it into a vessel of the heart.

"In poetry, 'fantasy' or 'chaos' is not a concept opposed to the everyday language system. Rather, even when subordinated to everyday life or representing the flatness of everyday existence itself, the language of poetry is refracted and distorted in various directions and angles according to the autonomy of language itself. There is no fixed order or technical principle there. Although language is a system of social conventions and a public good included within a large intersection out of necessity, when a poet wishes to express their own internal rhythm or flow of thought, the framework of that public collective is constantly broken."
