Overview

Poet Park Siha describes how she feels about Chopin and his music in sections of “discovery,” “dissonance,” and “oblivion” and through the themes of “encounter,” “love,” “parting,” and “conversation.”

Book Intro

Series of “poems immersed in print,” essays that feature poems and drawings

The first story -- Chopin

And Park Siha who waits for Chopin

 

Poems immersed in print is a series of essays that feature poems and drawings, which Alma introduces after a long period of preparation. In this series, the author, who is a poet, meets an artist whom she admires and is inspired by, and has a heart-to-heart conversation with the artist. Sometimes the poet and the artist exchange letters and share each other’s interests, and sometimes they just gaze at each other and tell each other what is on their minds through poems, music, and drawings.

 

The first artist from this series of poems immersed in print is Frederic Chopin, who is one of Korea’s most popular classical musicians and has become even more popular because of Dong-Hyek Lim, a famous Korean pianist known as a Chopin specialist. Park Siha, a poet who discovers small miracles in life through her own stylistic language, meets Chopin, who is often called the poet of the piano. A Person Who Waits for Chopin is a symbolic work that opens the gate to the series of poems immersed in print.

 

Poet Park Siha describes how she feels about Chopin and his music in sections of “discovery,” “dissonance,” and “oblivion” and through the themes of “encounter,” “love,” “parting,” and “conversation.” Through her ordinary life, where she meets Chopin, the author subtly reveals not only the beauty of the musician’s music, but also the dazzling emotions from the universe of Chopin and the secrets between Chopin and herself.
