What They Say About Yu Hyoung-Jin

By this time, I’ve come to know quite well that all of those thoughts are “useless”.
However I might complain of having lost the ability to write, my writing of poetry
shall continue, should there be but a single reader who will read my poems. That is
my “poetry of love”.
From “Poet’s Note”

These reveries of Yu Hyoung-Jin, with their similarities to fairy tales, at last reach
the moment of “listening”, as opposed to the moment of “speaking”. Not by giving
my heart to you, she learns, but by listening carefully to your heart, the poet has
achieved the point for which she had set her course, even if only for a moment.
