Park Nohae
박노해
Not until the publication of Nodongui Saebyeok in 1984 did Korean literary world and readers take notice of Park Nohae. His distinctive career as a laborer and the mystique of being so-called a “faceless poet” resonated with the atmosphere of those days when discussions on the people literature were relatively active, which in turn positioned him and his first poetry collection as sort of a cultural icon of the mid-late 1980s.
