This translation of Park Nohae's first collection of poems, Dawn of Labor, could not arrive at a more propitious moment. For this "faceless poet," this "enemy of the state," whose writings earned him a death sentence and years in solitary confinement, is not only a legendary figure in Korean letters and society but a prophet of global liberation--a man dedicated to the proposition that a community of kindred poetic spirits can inspire social justice. If the plight of factory workers makes him "think about the eradication/ of the Korean language," it also leads him to "dedicate these words, like a round of drinks, to [his] working brothers and sisters, who live and act diligently without losing hope and laughter." These poems clarify what we most need to know, wherever we may find ourselves in the world.--Christopher Merrill, author of Self-Portrait with Dogwood
