What They Say About An Hyeon-Mi

Some kinds of sorrow depart at dawn and some kinds of pain can never return. Since that day we have been nailed to that sea. You say, I so want to see my kids who are like angels nailed to the sea. I will not forget. Though they are forgotten I will not forget. I will remember and keep record. Indeed so. We can do it. I’m going to have to die after dying as a poet who grieves for the sea and celebrates the sea.
-From Poet’s Note

So An Hyeon-mi goes to the past instead of the future. Perhaps, it is because she
realized that describing the past can be a creative act that creates truth. She feels
like “a shadow or something like that, a stain or trace.”
-From Commentary
