Our mothers who have gone are buried in our bodies. It can be said that we were born with dead mothers in our body.

When anger and sorrow overflow, sometimes it becomes poetry.

Women are foils to men. It is hard for women to take a lead role even in NGOs for political resistance.

The body of poetry is nothing but energy, waves, rhythm.

We have certain rules for traditional lyric poetry in Korea. I twist my body, confused by what to say and how to act, facing these rules. Confronting traditional lyricism, I speak with a bare body without the tattoos of culture on it.

If you propose there is a feminism problem in Korea, somebody would point out that you are bringing up antiquated issues. No one acknowledges that discrimination against women is still widespread.

It is difficult to disturb the common usage of Korean that is bent to the perspective of a male-oriented society. Korean society is based on both a politics and history that have been disguised as a solid society of solid male poems, a solid written language, fixed rules of how to write literature, and a narrative language.
