2008년에 출간된 장진성의 시집이다. 70여편의 시가 5부로 나뉘어 수록되어 있다. 탈북시인인 장진성은 표제시인 <내 딸을 백원에 팝니다>를 통해 이름이 알려지게 되었다. 이 시는 북한의 어느 시장에서 직접 목격한 비극적인 모성애를 다루고 있다. 이외에도 시집은 북한주민들의 굶주림, 생존에 대한 갈망 등 북한에서 일상적으로 일어나는 참담한 모습을 그리고 있다.

Published in 2008 and divided into five parts, this collection by Jang Jin-sung introduces 70 of his poems. He is a North Korean defector and poet who became known for his poem “My Daughter Sold for One Hundred Won.” The poem is based on a real, tragic event he witnessed at a marketplace in North Korea, and the other poems also deal with the problems of starvation and political oppression in North Korea.
