Alexandria Ryu's Poetry Synthesis Essay

Reviews

The song of a free, untamable soul. (The Joongang Daily)

If poetry is the process of verbalizing experience, Ryu's poetry is most genuine. — Park Deok-gyu

Inside the Book

I lost the path leading to the world and

followed the one into books instead.

It led me to a quiet place.

I’d rather stay here, for a lifetime.

There was a girl who dreamt of

a garden made of ink.

She did not forget the dream for

several lifetimes and

wrote it down in her first diary of

each life.

Leaves bud on a tree drawn in ink.

A bird sits on a branch.
