Overview

This book includes Ahn Heeyun’s poems rising up from the dark shadows of the world where the extinction of the world and the fall of existence itself are occurring at the same time.

Book Intro

When Your Sorrow Cuts In is the first poetry collection by Ahn Heeyun. She started her career as a writer, winning the 12th Changbi New Poet Award and receiving compliments that she “continues to create multiple layers of time and space while taking risks” and “is precisely aware of the amplitude of the language she uses while collecting and arranging sensitive words.” This collection is published three years after she joined the literary circle and introduces her fascinating poetic world in which firm lyrical poetry flows alongside more polished, attractive images and cheerful imagination that seems to live up to the expectations of readers who have hoped to see improvement. Ahn sees through the world under threat of extinction and the truth of existence with delicate observation, singing the pain of life and reality. From the poems of this young poet who is holding “esthetics in one hand and depth in the other,” we can catch a glimpse of the “possibility of new poetry” (from the commentary by a poet Lee Won).

Ahn’s poems rise up from the dark shadows of the world where the extinction of the world and the fall of existence are occurring at the same time. In the world of impossibility where “Only unspeakable darkness is everywhere” (from Piano’s Disease), Ahn writes about the sorrows of a person who lives with insensibility and helplessness that becomes as intense as the sensitivity to the meaning of existence and the pains of life. How does (and should) “the one who almost vanished” (from Walking in Sleep) live in a world that is completely disappearing into darkness? Based on imagination combined with the belief that “There is a real hill over this hill” (from Dogeared Page) and the imagined faith that “I believe that I am a person” (from One and Two), the poet explores the paradoxical way of being in between “painful insensibility” and “intense helplessness.”
