Eom Won-tae, is a South Korean poet. Eom was born in Daegu in 1955. He made a literary debut in 1978, but did not engage in literary activities in earnest until 1990, when he, under the pen name of Eom Won-tae, published “How Come Trees Do Not Fall Even after Death?” (나무는 왜 죽어서도 쓰러지지 않는가 ) and four other poems.

엄원태(1955~)는 대한민국의 시인이다. 1955년 대구에서 태어나, 서울대학교와 동 대학원을 졸업했다. 1990년 《문학과 사회》에 〈나무는 왜 죽어도 쓰러지지 않는가〉 외 4편을 발표하면서 등단했다.

L’écriture de ce poète né à Daegu, en Corée du Sud, est profondément marquée par l’expérience personnelle de la maladie qui l’a conduit, dans un cheminement quasi spirituel, à une acceptation de soi et à une forte empathie pour toute forme d’altérité. Ses recueils – Dans une forêt de conifères (1991), Rapport sur le petit bourg (1995), Tombes en bulles d’eau (2007), Tu reviendras comme un lointain tonnerre (2013) – ont fait de lui une des voix majeures de la poésie coréenne contemporaine.
