Overview

This is the third publication by Lee Jae-young, a freelance writer and essayist who runs a local bookstore in Gapyeong. It combines stories about wild grass and wildflowers she has come across, and stories and photos of life that anyone can relate to.

Book Intro

Finding comfort in encounters with wild grass on a daily walk,

one finds a better day tomorrow, slowly but surely.


This is the third essay by Lee Jae-young, a freelance writer and essayist who runs a bookstore 'Book You Love' in Gapyeong. This forty-year-old writer, suffering insecurities and emotional turmoil as the mother of a troubled adolescent daughter, one day decides to start going out for walks instead of shrinking inwardly. As she walks with her dog every day, she begins to notice little things that had hitherto gone unnoticed. It was same as yesterday—but different: it is always the green grass of the road that greets her today.


Plants such as cypress vine, ditch persicaria, wood whitlowgrass, horsetails, Korean youngia, and so on, are not—they are just weeds that nobody pays attention to. And yet each has grown a little since yesterday, each posing itself differently. Walking every day, the author thinks, "Maybe there are very few great sorrows in the world that cannot be assuaged by a walk." She slowly escapes from a deep slump through a comfort she finds in exploring these wildflowers, looking up their names, and learning the language of flowers from time to time. This book is an essay about the wild grass and wildflowers she has come across, told through relatable stories and images.
