When I wrote ths book in 2000, I was concerned about children having access to the Internet and to chat rooms where "you can be anyone you want." Here we are many years later and the situation with children talking freely to stangers on the Internet
Happy New Year! I am a Korean poet and writer of essay including literary critical essay, being retired pastor.
Now 2014.1.13, I have published 12 collections of poems and 3 collections of essays and one of translated poetry book into English from my native langue, titled AUTUMN PRAYER.
Background
Information
I wish and want in this year to publish 3 collections of ; one is 4th essays, other is critical essays, and the other is poems. Absolutely, it is possible because the two formers will be consisted with the manuscripts already published and last one, poetry collect will be well too for I have writed one collection every 4 prior years after I had retired from church.
Dear my readers, I have rarely posted since I first created this site. The reason for that there were few English translations after the first English poetry collection, titled <AUTUMN PRAYER>. But I have been writing many poems, essays including articles and critical essays. To this day, I have published 14 volumes of poetry, 4 volumes of essays, and 1 volume of literary criticism in my native language Hangeul so far, and have taken the longest epic <Song for Peace in East Asia> (page 234), and its monthly series will begin in the poetry monthly magazine <Simoonhak>(poetry) which is the most authoritative and long-time in Korea. This epic shows nakedness through the historical facts that Japan invaded Korea on how cruel the evil nation power, not the individual, is because of greed on neighboring countries. In addition to applying the love of neighboring people in one country, it also embodies the theme of desiring to realize international peace by creating a new international order that transcends borders. I wrote in script form that this epic should be reborn as a musical or opera, hoping to spread peace and humanitarian thought based on neighborly love. On the other hand, I handed this manuscript to read by Giuseppe Kim, a prominent musical composer and music performance group <Rang Korea>, the artistic director of Korea. Of course I want him to be the original work of composing to be reborn as a musical.
I am going to publish an eBook that is already published as a paper book. I hope to publish it as soon as possible in the publisher AuthorsDen, who seems like to do their best to both the authors and the readers. (2016.11.29)
