book introduction

After debuting in 2004, I met readers through three collections of poetry, <Scream of Eyelashes>, <Father Called Me Sister-in-law> and <Venus Pudica>. Poet Yeonjun Park, who talked about a time, published a new prose collection.

This collection of prose <Life flows strangely> is the footsteps of a poet who came to you, the reader, with a bundle of stories from far away. You, who will listen to the story, and the poet, who will tell you the story, will meet either by 'great coincidence' or inevitably. In the book, the author shows the daily life of living naturally as if breathing, maintaining a friendly attitude, and diligently going to a ballet school to straighten and lengthen the body. In addition, the truth of life that was sharply captured in it and the poet's straight gaze on life were drawn with a unique humorous and warm brush stroke.

This is a long spell I uttered alone to reach you, the reader.
If these stories find you right, I'll finally get out of the game.
It will shine like a tagger who dances Ganggangsullae alone. _ From the epilogue 'A friendly spell'

Poet Yeonjun Park's new prose book published
Like a great coincidence, like inevitability, a story of finding you from a distant place

Life is a series of oddities. The place I visited today becomes the background of the main news the next morning, and after becoming close friends with someone I met by chance a long time ago, later they are 'pushed out of each other's lives'. There are moments of infinite joy and moments of heartache, but most of them do not leave a deep impression and are soon forgotten in the passing of time. However, the moment you realize the strangeness, you start to think about it anew or terrifyingly.
The simple and clear fact that “life flows strangely”.
After debuting in 2004 《The Scream of Eyelashes》 《My Father Called Me Sister-in-law》
Poet Yeonjun Park, who met readers through the three volumes of Venus Pudica and talked about a period of his life with his first collection of prose, Soran, has published a new prose collection.
This collection of prose, 《Life flows strangely》 is the footsteps of a poet who came to you, the reader, from a far away place with a bundle of stories. You, who will listen to the story, and the poet, who will tell you the story, will meet either by 'great coincidence' or inevitably. In the book, the author shows the daily life of living naturally as if breathing, maintaining a friendly attitude, and diligently going to a ballet school to straighten and lengthen the body. In addition, the truth of life that was sharply captured in it and the poet's straight gaze on life were drawn with a unique humorous and warm brush stroke.

As natural as breathing, having fun as much as possible
'Affectionate attitudes' of life told by the poet

One day, the author realizes that there is a nursing home downstairs in the ballet school he attends, and there is also a nursing home downstairs. As he rips his legs, raises his arms, and spins round and round, he grieves at the fact that some old people will be lying under, under, where he stands. “Life flows strangely,” he said. In this way, the things that the author realizes one by one shine like the sunlight with a gentle warmth in the coolness.
This book of prose, which is composed of all five parts, is about the story of the author with whom he has made a relationship while living 'today', scenes from 'yesterday' that are only realized and newly interpreted after passing, and situations that I didn't know then but I think can be understood now. It contains a story. Through the story of a grandmother who brushed her wounded forehead, her father who was like a “kind giant” who scolded the children who tormented her, and a friend who had always been close to her but was “pushed out of each other’s lives” as the years passed. Encounters, travels, encounters new scenes there, sleeps in a foreign hotel at dawn, and encounters deep loneliness, takes a walk in familiar neighborhoods, and remembers places and people that he loves. In addition. Constantly trying new things like 'not using a smartphone' or 'going to a ballet school' and 'not saying that you know someone carelessly' and 'without comparing. We try to figure out 'how to take a good rest, how to feel happy, and how to spend time happily', adding the promise of bringing out the best of each other. These figures reveal the author's attitude to make life more 'soft and happy'.

Our world is deeply intertwined with each other.

How have you been living and where you are now? At various corners of our lives, we look back at the point where we stand and realize anew that “life flows strangely”, but then we nod our heads as if it were a natural fact. This applies not only to the life we have lived, but broadly to the cogs in the great history of life. The author does not miss the density of such relationships. “The worlds are so deeply intertwined with each other,” he says, “nothing goes wrong because of one’s own fault, and nothing goes well with one’s own virtue.” As he said, we basically belong to ourselves, but we also belong to the lives of others and the flow of the world. Therefore, it is good to take a step in the relationship, to shake off the heavy feeling, to straighten your back, to straighten your body, and to go to a more refreshing way, and to make a natural expression toward life as if you were dancing like that.
