SEOUL, KOREA—Without a mirror that shows a man’s soul, he is lost in this world. He is busy living a wordly life, and may never find what he is missing until the last moment. In fact, he is not alone; what is unfortunate is that many of us are on the blind's path, and Dr. Daniel H J Youn used to be one of wanderers like many. However, guidance was his DNA. When his fate did strike, he found a mirror into his soul. True, poetry is the mirror of soul. He looks happy as another chapter of his life begins: life as a poet.
Considering Dr. Daniel’s background as a financial expert, people may not instantly agree with his new title as a poet. However, with his father’s past literary activity with KAPF (Korea Artists Proletariat Federation), the federation established in 1925 and comprised of over 200 artists), It did not simply happen overnight. Rather, it was his destiny’s calling.
On Oct. 20, the moment came for Daniel. Surrounded by his loving family and colleagues, his new identity was publicly born with his first poetry work: “Poetic life is a many splendored thing.“
It was also no coincidence that the day was also his birthday.
A poet living on poetry
His body wrapped around with poetry
Makes love to people living on poetry
His last poem and love completes a wish.
Hovering, an angelic figure above Chiljeug-san,
Marred by blowing wind and soaky rain,
Chitchatting with calm but crazed wild flowers,
A poet spends days on making his first but last love,
Like he is doing poetry, to people living on poetry
