This is the new book by poet Kim Chohye. Every writer's wish is for their writing to resonate with readers. For the printed words to come alive, posing questions, evoking emotions, stimulating, and influencing the reader. This work also carries Kim Chohye's unique voice, permeating the reader. The poet stated, “What comes from me and resonates with others, that ecstatic communion makes me write poetry. Publishing a collection of poems is hoping that the themes posed by the poems will bloom in the reader's heart.” She cautiously released this poetry collection, expressing concern that “I hesitate every time I publish a poetry book out of habit.” Within it unfolds the ‘path to meeting the poet.’

The poet is all the cries of the world / the person who cries / the injustice of the falsely accused / also cries / the pain of the sick and suffering / also cries (...) The poet is the one who cries / the record of crying is poetry.

When you visit Odaesan Sesimheon / my mind is noisy compared to the silence / (...) It was not the place / but the cause was me

If you embrace anything with greed / it becomes worry / love too / is like that
