Description 작품 소개

"Did I know then,

that perhaps my body is a hole pierced through thirty years"

An ordinary future, but not one to take for granted,

because of “us” who love within its coincidence

The poet who rode the waves of the distant sea and returned to the present

Shin Yongmok’s seventh poetry collection


Because We Exist in an Accidental Future is the seventh poetry collection by Shin Yongmok, a poet who has been bridging the gap between lyricism and society by actively delving into sorrow. The collection, released as the 606th installment of Moonji Publishing’s Poet’s Series, and coming three years after his previous work, Those Who Arrive in the Rain All Come on Time (Munhakdongne, 2021), features forty-one poems organized into eight sections. Precisely two decades since the publication of his debut poetry collection, I Must Walk All That Wind (Moonji Publishing, 2004), the poet persists in pushing forward, sharing narratives that revolve around the concept of the “future.”

Author Bio 작가 소개

Sin Yong-Mok (born 1974) is a South Korean poet. Sin's clearly spells out messages of love for the community in soft, easy lyricism, and this is based in his own firm belief in the value of "co-existence with one's fellow man" over "self-happiness." Even amid the wave of neoliberalism in which competition among writers is considered a necessary evil, Sin sees meaning in even the smallest of hopes, in order to protect the dignity and liberty of the human being.
