This collection of Oh Sae-young’s poems was published in 2011. Introducing 52 of his poems, the collection is divided into four parts: “Footprints in Snow,” “The Brand of Life,” “Late Autumn,” and “Aha!” In his work, the poet criticizes contemporary poems for becoming abstruse. In language that is as clear as the lines on a checkerboard, Oh expresses humanity, nature, and everyday life. The English translation of this collection was selected by an American journal of reviews, the Chicago Review of Books, as one of the twelve best poetry collections of 2016 in the United States.

2011년에 출간된 오세영 시인의 시집이다. 1부 '눈 발자국', 2부 '생명표 브랜드', 3부 '늦가을', 4부 '아하!' 등으로 구성되어있으며, 총 52편의 시가 수록되어 있다. 시인은 점점 난해해지는 시의 흐름을 비판하며 바둑판처럼 가지런하고 명료한 언어로 인간과 자연의 생활감각을 섬세하게 묘사한다. 그의 시는 하늘에서 지구를 조망하는 '늙은 신의 호기심어린 눈빛'처럼 고도의 미적 거리를 확보하고 있다는 평가를 받는다.
