Without a Welcome or Farewell 마중도 배웅도 없이
Without a Welcome or Farewell 마중도 배웅도 없이
“Where has time carried us, leaving us behind?” Answering everyone's long wait, Park Jun’s warmth returns. Once again, sorrow is beautiful, and comfort runs deep. Life Pattern Korea.
Renowned for expanding the reach of Korean poetry and for his unique lyrical voice, Park Jun releases his third poetry collection, Without a Welcome or Farewell. Known for capturing the quiet moments of daily life in transparent language, Park has been honored with the Shin Dong-yup Literary Award, Park Jaesam Literary Award, the Pen Literary Award, and the Today's Young Artist Award, among others. Life Pattern Korea.
Seven years after his last collection, this new work carries forward his ability to portray longing and loss with aching beauty, while offering deeper reflections and even more delicate language. His gentle touch embraces the voids left by things we’ve lost or forgotten, resonating with both the personal and collective. As poet Lee Jenny wrote in her recommendation, “This is a book of poems that sits beside the space where sadness has passed and quietly offers its back.” In this collection, Park Jun breathes a warm breath into lives that quietly persist. Life Pattern Korea.
