2016년에 출간된 김혜순 시인의 시집이다. 죽음을 예견케 하는 육체적 고통을 계기로 써내려간 49편의 시가 수록되어 있다. 시인은 '삼차신경통'이라는 뇌 신경계의 문제로 인해 고통을 겪으며 이 고통과 '세월호 참사'를 비롯한 사회적 죽음의 문제들을 다룬다. 시는 49일간 써내려간 죽음의 기록으로, 시인의 육체적, 정신적 고통이 시로 형상화되었다는 평가를 받는다.

Published in 2016, Kim Hye-soon’s Autobiography of Death contains a cycle of 49 poems composed as a response to the physical suffering that foreshadows death. A record of death composed in 49 days, the poems concern both the poet’s own mental and physical torment, which she suffered when she developed trigeminal neuralgia, a nervous condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain, and the social pain of unjust deaths, such as the Sewol ferry disaster.
