The Feeling of Sharing a Donut (Poems of the Times Edition)
Description
Book Introduction
For those who want to know and love poetry
A collection of poems from the past that will take you back to the time when you first embraced poetry.


This book is a collection of 60 original poems written by 20 young poets, including Hwang In-chan, Park So-ran, Yang Anda, Park Jun, and Yoo Hee-kyung, who have each created their own unique and individualistic poetic worlds, each reminiscing about their teenage years.
It is also a special edition for beginners in poetry, presented together with a poetry collection of the same name to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the launch of the 'Changbi Youth Poetry Series' and the publication of the 50th poetry collection.

The work is richly filled with stories of young people who take care of themselves and gradually expand their world.
The works of 20 poets, both affectionate and strong, capture a moment from the past when they harbored a poetic heart without even realizing they were poets.
This gently awakens the first memories and feelings of poetry that were sleeping in each of our hearts, the boys and girls of that time.
Additionally, a short piece titled 'Start Note' containing the poet's concerns and approach while writing this work was included to help readers better connect with the work.

Poetry and my teenage years.
The two are not always easy, but they are quite similar in that their value and meaning are doubled when shared with someone.
For those who hesitate to read poetry because it is difficult, but still yearn for it, this collection of poems will be a good starter, as it summons a forgotten poetic spirit and kindly captures the poet's deep inner thoughts.

Publisher's Review
“We will help you find your forgotten poetic heart.”
A gift box for those who want to start writing poetry again.


If we try to recall when we first learned about the existence of 'poetry' and experienced the taste of poetry, many people will recall their teenage years.
There is no time when poetry flourishes more than during this period, when emotions like loneliness and anxiety become unfamiliar, and when one gradually develops a world called "oneself" while forming various relationships.
But ironically, as people increasingly come into contact with poetry as a form of study, many easily become distant from it.
And after becoming an adult, the feeling that 'poetry is difficult' and the feeling that 'I want to know and enjoy poetry' coexist.

Here, 20 poets, who exude youthful sensibility and skill, present original poems on the theme of 'youth' in an attempt to reawaken the poetic spirit that blossomed back then.
From authors whose names alone evoke a sense of the poets' unique world of work, such as Hwang In-chan, Park So-ran, and Park Jun, to emerging writers who have recently captured the attention of both the literary world and readers, such as Yang Anda, Jeon Wook-jin, and Choi Ji-eun, readers will be able to awaken the poetic spirit dormant in their hearts through the feast of heartwarming and warm poems written by these authors.

Which era
People who live in certain places
They say they exchanged stones like letters.

When my heart is light
small pebbles
When it's heavy
A slightly bigger stone than that

(syncopation)

If I were you
If I write you a letter

Do you see the fan dimples on the stone face?
I missed you a little today too
The autumn wind sends me a pebble, so please accept it.

-Kim Hyeon, "Moving Stones" (pp. 14-16)

“It’s just a few steps since then that I’ve become an adult.”
A time to hug the boy and girl in our hearts tightly


The book also includes 'Beginning Notes' that describe what memories and experiences the poets recalled while writing these works, and what concerns and feelings they wanted to express.
Here, there is an honest confession that “I wanted to write a poem that I wanted to convey to myself back then” (Hwang In-chan, Start Note), and a colorful display of feelings and thoughts that came to mind when facing the past.
He also shares the new feelings he discovered while writing poetry, saying, “I feel a little closer to my old self” (Seo Yun-hu, Start Note) and “I am comforted by my current self” (Yang Anda, Start Note).

Anyone who has become an adult has never been a teenager, and it is only a matter of taking a few steps towards becoming an adult.
Perhaps we are still living in the 'time of youth'.
I hope that by reading together the rich moments of time shared by 20 poets in "Sharing a Donut," we can reach out to our past selves, who have been hiding in a corner of our hearts, and find comfort in this time.

The child at that time asks a question.
Are you okay now? Are you okay? The adult now answers.
Yeah, I think so.
I think it's gotten a little better though.

It'll be okay.
Even if the painful, fearful, shameful, and sorry things I'm going through now seem useless and pathetic, if I remember myself well, it'll be okay.
Even if no one knows, I'll be okay as long as I don't lose myself.
If you listen carefully, you will hear it.
A greeting from you who is far away to you now.
Your future self will be waving at you very nicely.
Now I'm saying that it's really okay.
