Estamos ante una autora que aprehendiendo la profundidad que se oculta en nuestras rutinas, explora, desde su raíz, las motivaciones y emotividades de la vida humana. La poesía de Moon es mordaz en su estilo y atrevida en sus temas, puesto que aborda el humor intrínseco al pathos y ofrece, al mismo tiempo, una alegoría (un canto) a la condición femenina, representada en la Madre Tierra.

Chung-hee casts off 'the watch and mink stole,' and exclaims: 'I want to be a free dancer from now on.'"?Sholeh WolpTMoon Chung-hee's poetry is passionate, impetuous, a poetry of love, epiphany, feminist assertion, even rebellion.Richard Silberg co-translated, with Clare You, The Three Way Tavern and This Side of Time, by Ko Un.
