Candle From the Far East

In his first collection of English poems, Korean writer Young-Tae Kim presents a remarkable anthology of work with themes ranging from political musings on an international scale to living well in an increasingly global world. Kim offers a unique blend of the modern and traditional, as overtones of the poet's Eastern cultural roots permeate each page. In addition to musings on present-day society, A Candle from the Far East (Poems) offers reflections on more emotional themes-such as the growth of deep and profound love, alienation of once close friendships over time, and finding purpose through spiritual growth-culminating in a beautifully rich collection of works that have universal applicability. The end result is a collection that readers will turn to time and time again and one that successfully shares wisdom and contributes to the well-being of all.
