This book is a self-record of emotional growth on how a child learns the flow of time and change of seasons perceiving the world around him. The author commands easy and apprehensible English to describe how a boy plays, reads, mashes video game, attends school, and makes friends through natural poetic imagination. We can observe the author’s feeling of homesick for his puerile hometown Ann Arbor and his friends there, and how he overcomes the worries and conflicts in Korean life with humor and optimism. We can also trace the growth of young soul from loneliness of his poem when he looks back upon his old house in his return visit to Ann Arbor. Prof. Donguk Kim at Korea University states that this collection of poems is “pleasingly resonant with a wide range of tonalities, fanciful, playful, thoughtful, full of humor and wit, and at times surprisingly self-reflexive”. Poet Bo-Seon Shim says he expects the day that this “wonder boy poet pierces everybody’s soul with his howl”.
