摘 要 BOOK DESCRIPTION
本书收集了十二位旅美韩裔作家的诗选，以怀旧为主题。
A sequel to Fragrance of Poetry, a much acclaimed
poetry collection, An Empty House contains ninety-four
poems by twelve Korean-American poets. It is a work that
represents significant thought, effort, and collaboration.
Poems in this volume show the breadth and depth of Korean-American
poets’ homesickness, grief, pain, and joy of life
in lyricism. With nostalgia at the heart of their poetry,
the poets sing the praise of the “dailyness of life”—small,
sparkling moments that pass every day. They also share sorrows
of the victims’ families of the Virginia Tech rampage
in April 2007 and the tragedy of the on-going war against
terror.
