Oh Sae-young’s eleventh collection of poems, The Light of Death, was published in 2001. It is composed of four sections (“A Line of Poetry,” “Tears,” “Eyes Wet with Tears,” and “The Sound of Autumn Rain”), each containing fifteen poems. Though the central theme of the book is romantic love, Oh goes beyond the confines of the topic, venturing into the realm of spiritual awakening. Rather than the transcendent kind, however, the enlightenment offered in the poems is both human and emotionally resonant.
