Is it poems, or poetry, that come to "me"? Endless nostalgic thoughts come to "me", a poet and his self as the editor of this collection, which are regularly reflected in this book's multiple poems and corresponding commentaries, read individually in a few lines. Some of the short commentaries are also about people. People in the poet's lifetime whom he met whether literary people or other. This poet-cum-editor, Kim Yong-Taek, actually is the writer of diverse poetry representative of South Korea as a poetry-loving nation, and he pulls off many happy returns addressing many composers, belonging to the moving South Korean poems Kim himself have chosen. The book is paperback in glossy white, and its cover looks as if it mirrors bare Korean treescape.
