Jeong Ho-seung's Seeking You, translated from Korean by Brother Anthony of Taizé, explores human existence through an interconnectivity to nature and the cosmos. His poems foster a poetic voice that is filled with child wonder and aged wisdom-an approach that extends both humor and analytical depth. Seeking You stands as a testament to a poet's enduring commitment to exploring themes of love, sorrow, and the complexities of human life, all while inviting readers to look beyond themselves and find connection with the world around them.
