Sister Luna: Korean Poetry(Korean Edition)

I bought this as I am learning Korean and wanted something to challenge me on the interpretation side. These are short poems perfect for that. But more that than, there are some beautiful words in it!

This book is perfect, there’s beautiful poetry and is easy to read. The order came just like in the photos and on the date that was supposed to arrive, so I’m really happy with my purchase.

Great quality and publishing. I bought it as a gift and they really enjoyed it

Im giving it 3 starts because the book came a little damaged but overall nice book

Omg i can't translate this but i love this book sm hahah

Me gusta mucho, ideal para las personas con curiosidad por la cultura coreana y la poesía.

I’m so glad I found this book. The poetry is poignant and profound without being too sappy. You don’t need to understand poetry to understand this book. The style is similar to Rupi Kaur books - simple, short, not too lyrical but not too bland. They also have similar themes - family, love, etc. That being said, I think Noona Luna is more insightful, but it’s just a matter of taste. This book is good to read at the end of a stressful day just to unwind. Reading a poem from this book is like taking a deep breath and relaxing. This is an excerpt from the first poem, with my rough translation. (It sounds prettier in the original Korean): “널 사랑해서 나의 눈에 특별해 보이는 걸까” Are you special in my eyes because I love you? “넌 모두에게 특별해서 내가 사랑에 빠진 걸까” Am I falling in love with you because you’re special to everyone? “옆의 남자들의 눈에도 넌 특별한 걸까” I wonder if you’re special in the eyes of the men next to you, too. I think most of us can relate to these words. Oh Hoon puts poetic style to everyday experiences and makes them seem more beautiful. He also infuses melancholy, hope, and nostalgia into each page. That’s talent.

Ottimo

Très bien

Can't stop reading it! It's so easy to read through, the poems were very romantic, very modern and relatable. I loved it.
