Publisher's Synopsis
Prose, poetry, and love are brother and sister relationships. Especially, the poems of Sang-Ok Shim show that they are of one blood. Not only is it about the genre, but it's also like her verse: "As mature as the sun and as sweet as the moon. How can there be discrimination or distinction between flowers that bloom according to the calendar and live in one family? "People, flowers and the universe are one family, and it's the world of Hwaom that has overcome discrimination." In her poetry, lyricism, philosophy, songs, and chatter dance together without hesitation. The warmth and sincerity of her heart and voice truly sustain the depth of her poetry. -Poet Min Yong-tae, permanent member of the Royal Spanish Academy
