Foreword

I met an authentic poet Nyo Chung, who creates poems through nature, and daily life. And she simultaneously transforms objects into poetry language. She willingly accepted the fact that she was a nature born poet. Her main priority in life is writing poems. Also I think her poems have rhymes which can be translated into song lyrics. She has an experience of teaching Korean language and literature in Seoul, Korea for five years and also has been teaching Korean language at St. John's University for 18 years. This is one of the reasons why she especially loves poems as well as Korean. Even though her poems are short and easy, it inspires audiences and it also brings out peaceful longing. Like verses "A flower smile without sound and a bird cried without tears", she hopes that one off her poems will be loved and be sung by everyone forever. Finally, she published her own first poetry book. The poet tells us this phrase, "Our lives pick up both sorrows and joys with a pair of chopsticks". Because her poems are written from her heart and through her experiences, I believe that you can respond to her poems with a great sympathy and joy that you can find yourself through the poems.
