Description 작품 소개

Published in 2016, Kim Hye-soon’s Autobiography of Death contains a cycle of 49 poems composed as a response to the physical suffering that foreshadows death. A record of death composed in 49 days, the poems concern both the poet’s own mental and physical torment, which she suffered when she developed trigeminal neuralgia, a nervous condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain, and the social pain of unjust deaths, such as the Sewol ferry disaster.

Kim Hyesoon김혜순

“Tonight, there’s no place for me / to hide except in this bathroom / I’m called by the sound of / water streaming from the faucet / I mourn in here // My hand trembles / as I curl up my eyelashes with mascara as if lifting up my black wings // The sound of rain hitting the tiles pushes me off the deep end // Tonight, there’s no place for me to put down my poem” (<날개 환상통>, 《날개 환상통》, 문학과지성사, 2019 / “Phantom Pain Wings,” Phantom Pain Wings, New Directions, 2023) Kim Hyesoon is a poet who writes from a feminist perspective.
