This debut collection in English chronicles contemporary life in a minor key where loneliness and existential ghosts thread the pieces. But Yoo's title also points to his fascination with language, and how each day offers chances to understand new vocabularies and new meanings--of words, of living.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1980, Yoo Heekyung is the author of several collections of poetry and prose that query subjects such as photography, poetry, stories, presence and absence, and clouds.
