Book Introduction
Poet Mandri Kim Hee-joo's poetry collection, "Attaching the Heart to the Ceiling," captures the poet's jewel-like moments and profound insights into life discovered in everyday life, leaving a gentle yet profound resonance in the reader's heart.
Just like the title of the poem, which captures the heart that floats lightly like a dandelion seed and sticks it to the ceiling of the living room, the poet's writing brightly and warmly illuminates the deep love for family and the precious values ​​in our lives.

The poetry collection is full of colorful stories that we can all relate to.
A mother's deep love for her child, who believes in and supports her in "autonomy," the joy of learning and the preciousness of relationships contained in "Crooked Letters," and the strength and hope of small beings discovered through "diligence" all breathe warmth into our hearts.
Rather than directly explaining life's virtues such as 'positivity', 'diligence', 'courage', and 'encouragement', the poet has a special charm that allows readers to naturally understand the meaning of life by telling his own warm anecdotes in the form of fables.
The song, which sings "thank you for still breathing" as "gratitude," reminds us that being alive in this moment is a miracle, delivering deep comfort and positive energy to us who are weary.

In particular, poet Jeong Sam-jo praised this poetry collection as “a collection of poems that expresses a positive and cherished feeling of being alive through the technique of allegory,” and added that poet Kim Hee-joo has put “a desire to get closer to the reader without showing off” into her poems, giving them an easy and warm resonance.
This shows the intimate yet profound charm of poetry.

Just like the beautiful pure Korean word 'mandri', which means 'the shape of clothes, the appearance of an object', poet Kim Hee-joo carefully touches the stories of life and conveys them to readers in the most beautiful language of style.
I hope that through this beautiful collection of works, imbued with the poet's warm passion and delicate sensibility, readers' hearts will be filled with small comforts and great emotions.
