2015년에 출간된 의사이자 시인인 마종기의 시집이다. 51편의 시가 3부로 나뉘어 수록되어 있다. 시인은 1966년 미국으로 건너가 의사가 된 후, 조국을 떠나 이국에서 보내야만 했던 외로움과 설움을 노래해왔다. 이 시집에서는 수십 년만에 이룬 국적회복의 기쁨과 어머니를 비롯한 주변 지인들을 떠나보내야 했던 슬픔을 시로 형상화한다.

Published in 2015 and divided into three parts, this collection by Mah Chonggi introduces 51 of his poems. The poems are about a Korean man who has become a doctor, but still struggles to find meaning in his immigrant life in America, and about his loneliness and sadness. The poems also describe his joy as he recovers his nationality and also the sorrow of losing his mother and the people around him.
