Overview

A book of love poems by poets for their dogs.

Book Intro

This is an anthology of love poems by twenty poets for their dogs. It includes the pictures of the poets' dogs, poems they wrote, short passages, and illustrations, which describe the joys and sadness of living with a dog. 

 

To live with a dog

 

What does it mean to be with a dog? In an age where there are more than ten million South Koreans with pets, including mostly dogs, this question is essential. The poets responded to it through poems and prose. The poet, Nam Ji-eun said, "To be with a dog signifies looking after another life besides mine. From birth to death, the sparkle of another entity permeates my whole being." Park Si-ha, another poet, confessed that since he has been with a dog, he has become "a poet of dogs” and the world he views has turned luminous, as though a bright filter has been placed on his vision. Sim Boseon, too, wrote, "I've learned what death and parting are about from puppies," and that part of his soul was cultivated through them.

 

Thus, as seen in this book, dogs are not only humanity's oldest friend but should be regarded as almost a blood relation of a different species as well as the first teacher who has taught people what love and parting are about.
