A large body of the poems in Lee Byung Ryul's book is comprised of accounts of his own tangible life story, or his observation of other's experience. He writes about things of deep concern to him--the love relationship between him and his beloved, trips abroad, friendship and enmity, a natural object like a persimmon, or an inanimate thing such as a used train ticket. But there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. An adroit storyteller, he adopts a reader-friendly approach to the given subject matter and develops the narrative in a simple yet subtle way. Quite like a parable in essence. Nonetheless his mystical power to communicate ideas and emotions breathes life and beauty into seemingly mundane subject matter. Lee Byung Ryul is counted one of the rare, affirmative voices of our time.
