Lesson 5 Are You into Books?
A Poet Who Loved Stars
Dong-ju was born in 1917 near Yanbin, China.
As a young boy, he loved sports, and he was a soccer player for his school.
He also loved sewing so much that he sewed the numbers on all his friends’ soccer uniforms.
However, it was literature that he loved most.
In elementary school he wrote a lot of poems.
He even made a literary magazine with his cousin, Song Mong-gyu.
In middle school he once borrowed a poetry book by a famous poet of the time, Baek Seok, and copied the whole book by hand.
He really wanted to have his own copy of the rare book.
His parents wanted him to be a doctor, but Dong-ju chose to study literature at a college in Seoul.
During his college years, he often hung out with other young poets and wrote poetry where he expressed feelings about his hometown and lost country.
To celebrate his graduation, he wished to publish 19 of his poems under the title, Heaven, Wind, Stars, and Poetry.
He made three copies of the book by hand.
One was given to his close friend, Jeong Byeong-uk, another was presented to his favorite professor, and the last one was kept for himself.
