The Jeonbuk Writers' Conference (Chairman Jung Dong-cheol) will hold a literary walk event titled 'Literary Walk with Poetry' with poets Kim Do-soo, Jang Chang-young, and poet Jiyeon at the Jeonbuk Writers' Conference office on the 20th at 6:30 p.m.
Poet Kim Do-soo expressed his endless love for his hometown, Jinmyo Village, through his latest poetry collection, 'The Road of Truth.' He sang of the beautiful days of his hometown, Jinmyo, which became the source of longing, portraying the earth, mother, and farmers' hearts with rough yet deep emotions. Poet Kim Do-soo serialized 'Dosu's Jinmyo Village' in the monthly magazine 'Jeollado.com' for 15 years. His works include poetry collections such as 'Going to Jinmyo,' simultaneous poetry collection 'Manure in the Bean Field,' essay collections 'Jingam River with Blue Water: Bell, Drum, Flag, and Drumstick,' and 'Love Rain on Jinmyo Field of Jingam River.'
Poet Jang Chang-young captured the sense and thoughts of a poet standing in front of unfamiliar lands based on his journey to India with photographers in his latest work, 'India Never Visited - From Jodhpur to Agra.' The journey through Jodhpur, Udaipur, Agra, and Delhi unfolds like a painting in his poetry. Poet Jang Chang-young won the Jeonbuk Ilbo Spring Literary Award (Poetry) in 2003, the Buddhist Newspaper Spring Literary Award (Sijo), and the Seoul Newspaper Spring Literary Award (Sijo) in 2005. His works include poetry collections such as 'Camellia, When the Body Opens,' 'Can We Go Again,' 'Reading Travel,' and humanities books like 'Accidentally Environmental,' 'Digital Culture and Literary Education,' and 'Opening the Door of Trees.'
Poet Jiyeon confessed the record of traces left by disappeared beings like snowflakes in 'All Weathers, Take a Rest,' expressing sadness and longing for their absence, leaving traces of love. Poet Jiyeon won the 2013 'Poetry Mountain' New Literature Award, the 2016 'Mudeung Ilbo' Spring Literary Award, the 5th Guji Family Literary Award, and the 5th Ipap Friends Artist Award. Her works include poetry collections 'Come Over to the Blank Space' and 'What Will Tomorrow Look Like.' The literary walk in March will be composed of readings and conversations by the three poets, with poet Dohye-suk leading the event. Poet Dohye-suk debuted in 'Korean Poetry' in 2001, won the 8th Poetry Mountain Award in 2004, and has a poetry collection titled 'Boiling Silence.'
The Jeonbuk Writers' Conference continues to sustain the vitality of regional literature through monthly literary walks with citizens. Anyone who enjoys reading poetry and books can participate in the event held at the Jeonbuk Writers' Conference office (35 Jungsan Central Road, Room 302, Wansan-gu, Jeonju) on the 20th.
