Description 작품 소개
We Everyday
JIN Eun-Young is one of the poets who redrew the map of Korean poems in the early 2000s. Her poetry succeeds in forging a new relationship between language and object through her fluid yet stable literary style. Her metaphors invert our familiar sense of things and break the frame of thought established by our fixed ideas. What we experience through her poems is a sensitivity that makes possible in us a capacity to see and think anew and recreate things, as if we were observant foreigners trying to familiarize ourselves with an unfamiliar place. But even if her poems are unfamiliar and challenging, the language itself is beautiful, often quite unlike the new poetic language of other young poets. Her poems thus have an advantage in being more broadly received by the general reader. We Everyday is her second collection of poems. In this collection, as in her previous one, we can sample the same stable though flowing poetic lines unique to JIN Eun-Young. In particular, we note that she brings her self-consciousness as poet to the fore in her poems. For example, “That Day,” “To Me,” and “Summer Snow” clearly reveal the poet’s selfconsciousness and thereby serve as meta-poetry. She appears able to display the ideal of poetry that she pursues, namely her own poetics, without losing any poetic tension in doing so. This results from her light, composed poetic language, not from an “outcry” or a “shout.” Her poetry’s composure perhaps results through images borrowed from fairy tales, which she uses to break metaphoric convention. JIN Eun-Young’s stable experiments with sensible experience are charting new territory for contemporary Korean poetry.
JIN Eun-Young Born in 1970, in Daejeon. She first appeared on the literary scene with “A Large Storage in House” on Literature and Society. Her anthologies of poems include are The Dictionary Consisted of Seven Words and We Everyday.
