Beautiful poems, my story is in them.
The poet of 'Wildflowers' conveys to you the warm language of temperature.

If you look at them for a long time, there are some pretty things.
As a poet said, so are the flowers, and as the lyrics of a song say, so are people.
And in literature, poetry is like that.
In the title of this book, ‘You are pretty only when you look at it for a long time, you too’, ‘you’ refers to poetry.
When do we find poetry beautiful? There are poems that particularly catch our eye when we read them.
That's partly because the poem is beautiful, but more importantly, because I deeply sympathized with and was comforted by the story the poem tells.
This is a case where poetry becomes a force that gives energy.

In this book, poet Na Tae-ju, who has observed and written about many works over a long period of time, introduces carefully selected and carefully selected poetic sentences with deep insight.
Among the poems, 120 sentences were selected that were particularly 'capable of embracing people'.
Readers will be able to find their own stories in the poem's sentences, which are like raindrops.
By taking the time to find your own poetry, you can have the mysterious experience of even your difficult feelings, which seemed unchangeable, gradually becoming like beautiful poetry.


If you recite the poem, you will understand.
I am being comforted

'You have to look closely to see the beauty/You have to look for a long time to see the loveliness/You are the same too.' This is the full text of the poem 'Wildflowers'.
This work was found to be the 'most loved Kyobo signboard on Gwanghwamun Street for 25 years' in a survey conducted this year.
The author of this poem is poet Na Tae-ju, who loves wild flowers and people.

Although the work has become famous, the poet is not satisfied with just one poem.
I always carry a notebook with me, write poetry every day to convey my deepest emotions, and read a lot of poetry.
And says:
'People need encouragement.
I need to comfort myself and tell myself that I'm okay and that I'm doing well.' So the poet decided to choose poetry with the hope that people who are having a hard time will have the strength to get up on their own.
It is a comforting passage if you recite it.
It is the best literary prescription that a writer can give to tired modern people.
That's how this collection of poems was born.


It touches my heart when I look at it
A poem of love, comfort, and rest

In this book, you can encounter poems full of warmth by Na Tae-ju, as well as poems by familiar poets such as Kim So-wol, Kim Young-rang, Lee Yong-ak, and Kim Ki-rim, and the poems of foreign poets such as Alfred de Souza, Rainer Maria Rilke, William Yeats, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe are also introduced.

Chapter 1, 'Rest, Now is a Good Time', gives you a feeling of a comfortable rest time, and Chapter 2, 'Hope, A Leaf Blooms', contains poems written for those who are frustrated.
Chapter 3, 'Life, a True Journey', provides time to reflect quietly on life.
In Chapter 4, 'Love, I See You Like I See a Flower', you can fully experience the beauty of love, and in Chapter 5, 'Draw, On a Spring Day or in a Dream', you can hear a heartbreaking story about love.
Chapter 6, 'People, My Precious People', contains poems expressing sincerity that one wants to convey to those close to oneself.

These sentences, which will quietly touch your heart as you read them, will provide love, comfort, and rest to the reader.
