The Universe Spins: Poems by Eight Young Koreans

This anthology of poetry contain the work of eight young Korean poets, majoring in English Literature. The poems are reflections of young Koreans living in an increasingly globalized Korea and provide interesting insight into the universal concerns of today's youth, not matter their physical location. The poems display rich, occasionally funny, often beautiful, and sometimes very touching images. Motifs of longing and uncertainty are contrasted with emotions of determination, gratitude, and love for family and friends. The poets all have unique voices and address desperate topics from love to socio-economic concerns. While the poems are easily accessible to the average reader, they display poetic depth that invites multiple re-readings.
