Description
Book Introduction
To those whose hearts are heavy and unbearable
Sincere sympathy and encouragement
“If a youth poem is written by someone with this kind of mind,
“I think I can trust and read it.” - An Mi-ok (poet)
This book is poet Jeong Da-yeon's first collection of poetry for young people, and it is a collection of poems that poignantly considers the unstable and uncertain lives and complex psychology of young people living today.
Poet Jeong Da-yeon, who began her literary career in 2015 when her poem was selected for the [Modern Literature] New Writer Recommendation, has been developing a refined world of poetry that stands out with her keen sense and delicate sensibility. This is a warm sympathy that she conveys to young people through her poetry.
The poet published this collection of poems after spending a long time teaching writing to teenagers, closely observing their daily lives and sensibilities, and constantly pondering ways to reach them through poetry.
Jeong Da-yeon's youth poetry has a unique freshness that sets it apart from other youth poetry.
This is because it is a youth poem written after the poet fully embodies the emotions and attitudes of youth in his own life without easily judging or imposing limits on them.
So, when I read a poem, it feels as if a hand is coming out of the poem and patting my back, saying, “You were like that too.”
This poetry collection, which carefully reaches out and waits without trying to lecture or teach, will be a great comfort and encouragement to not only today's youth but also adults who remember the wounds of their past youth.
This poetry collection is the forty-sixth volume of ‘Changbi Youth Poetry Series.’

Publisher's Review
“I am here, firmly.”
A deeper, more in-depth look into youth
The poetry collection clearly shows the poet's sincere desire to get closer to young people who rarely reveal their inner feelings in order to understand them more deeply.
The poet says that the hearts of young people are “stories that must be listened to carefully” (“The Speaker”) and listens attentively to their stories.
Not wanting to get hurt again, the book carefully examines the hearts of teenagers who ask again, “Can you really listen to me?” (“Closed Door”), and delicately touches on the various emotions they feel in their daily lives.
I am not very talkative
He's a storyteller.
In my diary
A person who didn't want to go out of the house
The story of how I turned the doorknob to show the world to my beloved dog.
The story of a heart that suddenly opened
It's written down
I am a person who knows how to tell a story without speaking.
(syncopation)
I need to listen carefully
I am a person who has a story to tell.
Because my voice is not loud
Because I didn't claim it
There are many times when I can't hear it
That doesn't mean there aren't any
I am firmly
- The "Speaker" section (pages 84-85)
“I think I know what you mean”
A poetry collection that offers comfort to youth facing anxiety.
Sensitive teenagers are often overwhelmed by inexplicable emotions and are often plagued by anxious thoughts.
I am afraid of “the fact that there is someone I hate so much” in the “darkness within me,” and of “my face appearing at the end of that person’s face” (“The Most Difficult and Fearful Things in the World”).
Suddenly, he imagines himself becoming “smaller than dust and no one will recognize him” and becomes a “transparent ghost”, obsessed with “the thought of disappearing completely” (“Closed Door”).
He even feels as if “the world could just end like this,” and falls into a “sad sense of emptiness” (“Another Person”).
And yet, he knows how to console his mind, which is completely lost, by saying, “I don’t know, I’ll tell myself/Lump” (“Lump”).
To such youth, the poet speaks in a way that subtly brings them closer, saying, “Actually, I have been through the same thing as you” (“Secret”), and resonates with the anxious psychology lurking within them.
When anxiety approaches without warning
I feel at ease when I think that I just happened to meet a kitten on the street.
I tried to comfort you, but you scratched me with your claws so fiercely that it left a scar like a broken diagonal line.
I was really scared of the approaching hand. Is this your first time with me? Let's stay together like this, not close. I took a step back.
When I see your back getting further and further away, I say goodbye
- "My Dear Anxiety" section (pages 74-75)
“I protect myself without breaking myself”
A careful message to those enduring pain
Schools, where young people spend most of their time, must be safe and peaceful above all else.
But the reality is not like that.
Physical assault, verbal abuse and bullying, including “trash talk” (“Summer Vacation”), still occur on a daily basis.
A child who hears from even his best friend, “From now on, I’m breaking up with you” (“Toilet”), falls into a sense of inferiority when he looks at his reflection in the bathroom mirror and thinks, “The person I want to break up with the most/was me” (“Toilet”).
But he is not that lonely because “there is one person next to him who understands his true feelings” (“Facts and Truth”).
“Even if a wad of paper flies behind my back and I talk loudly for the class to hear, I pretend not to hear,” he says, and he perseveres, vowing that he “will never break down” (“Recess”).
The poet ponders the feelings of the youth who are going through painful times for various reasons and encourages them.
To me who is in pain
Yoonju showed the words fact and truth.
What actually happened is what was revealed on the surface
The truth is the heart as it is, without any additions
If people knew the truth
I can't misunderstand you
I know the truth
I know your true feelings
Facts and truth
Truth and facts
One letter difference
Twisted and misaligned
Not something that complicated
one
Having one person next to you
It's so clean
I cried so hard
- "Facts and Truth" section (pages 58-59)
“Okay, I threw it.
“It suddenly felt light.”
A time when anxiety, sadness, and loneliness all become lighter.
“You’re still young, you don’t know.” “Just keep quiet and study.” Teenagers easily hear things like this.
But teenagers live with much more than adults think.
As a respectable individual, we exist “firmly” (“The Speaker”) in this world, and although life is not always fun and happy, we each have our own dreams and grow into adults who can “warm” our lives “with our own warmth” (“When We Grow Up”).
As you read this poetry collection, which is “like a tender letter” praying for the well-being of the youth who live difficult lives today amidst the anxiety that approaches “without a sound” (“Dear My Anxiety”), you will experience the “weight of deep-seated sadness,” “the volume of wounds that do not easily heal” (Preface, Ahn Mi-ok), and even loneliness becoming lighter.
I also believe that this collection of poems will provide warm comfort to adults who have lived through times of chaos, conflict, and wandering.
I don't know if you'll come
Don't get wet in the rain
I put an umbrella on the seat next to me
(syncopation)
I don't know if you'll come
I even held my breath and waited for the bathroom to be used.
When are you coming?
The rain stopped and the weather cleared up.
Because I was exposed to sunlight all day long
The seat next to me is really warm
