Description 작품 소개
This collection of poems depicts the process of the speaker acknowledging and confronting the world within the world full of violence.
This is the first collection of poems by Lim Sola, who is a poet and novelist. The Eerie Weather and Good People features multiple poems that look into the speaker and the speaker's thoughts that fail to either adjust to or make compromises with the world stained with irrationality and violence. Her poems show the attempts the speaker makes to see the world objectively and take a step further in order to solve inner conflicts. Those poems reflect the will of the poet who tries to deliver her message with words.
The world is far from beautiful to the speaker. As presented in Beauty, it's a "beautiful planet" to others, but "hell" to the speaker. In a world filled with fakes and replicas, where there is no giraffe in a giraffe, no Earth in the Earth, and no people in people, the speaker exists by failing to be "replica like person." By separating inner self from the self within the world, the speaker acknowledges the world that constitutes him/her. In other words, the speaker confirms the gap between the self and the world, and identifies the circumstance through the process of objectification.
How Lim Sola acknowledges the world, in the process of understanding and recognizing the conflict between the world and the self, is followed by action.
The speaker, who repeatedly tells stories which can be anticipated as easily as a weather forecast, who repeatedly hears that they are a good person, are like a person trapped inside a window, and now the speaker tries to push the "Eerie Weather and Good People" who are hidden within (inside the speaker) out the window. Looking inside the person people claim to be a good person by opening the window, one finds one who passively repeats the same words, and by pushing out what is not oneself (together with the good people), one can finally become oneself. By not making compromises with the friendly assessments of the world, one becomes oneself.
These aggressive actions resumed by the speaker makes several appearances throughout the collection, and in the end, they all gather into a single story. The speaker stepping forward again from acknowledging the irrationality of the world inspires the will to change the hell-like world continuously with small acts.
Lim Sola was born in Daejeon in 1987. She debuted as a poet with the 2013 New Writer Award by JoongAng Ilbo and a novelist with the 2015 Munhakdongne College Fiction Award. She has published the novel The Best Life and the collection of poems The Eerie Weather and Good People.
