Description 작품 소개

Published in 2016, Kim Hye-soon’s Autobiography of Death contains a cycle of 49 poems composed as a response to the physical suffering that foreshadows death. A record of death composed in 49 days, the poems concern both the poet’s own mental and physical torment, which she suffered when she developed trigeminal neuralgia, a nervous condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain, and the social pain of unjust deaths, such as the Sewol ferry disaster.
