Description 작품 소개

City Gas (2022) is the eighth poetry collection of Lee Sumyeong, a poet at the frontline of avant-garde deconstructing the order of real-life language. Intriguingly, the collection includes six poems titled “City Gas” without any numeric or other determiners that would assign an expected continuity to the serial poems.


City Gas depicts a “depleted person” whose potential is fundamentally blocked in the two-dimensional world where people are arranged like things. A being who has lost the very purpose of action, rather than was deprived of interiority or denied an opportunity, this person lacks either a past to return to or a future to look forward to.
