Baek Eunsun Novelist South Korea
Born in 1987 in Seoul, Baek Eunsun debuted in 2012 in the literary journal Literature and Society. She is the author of many works, including the poetry collections A Possible World, A Film Made With Scenes No one Can Remember, The Feeling of Getting Help, The Person that Doesn’t Open Boxes, and the book of essays I Hate Me, Like Me and Find Myself Weird. In 2017 she received the Kim Jun-seong Literature Award and the Moonji Literature Award in 2021. Of writing she says, “When I write poetry, I find it difficult. I keep having to carry around questions that can’t be answered. I try to find the truth of a poem, but it always slips away from me. And every time it slips away, I think that’s what poetry is. These days I ask this question a lot, “What’s real? How useless and fuzzy is that boundary?” I walk and fall and trip, but if I keep on with bruised knees, there is a landscape I know I will arrive at.”
