Washing a Myna unveils the myriad questions caused by the relationships of things and people, and curiosities about existential exercises generated by points where prosaic language does not reach. The poet seems to enjoy the subtle stimuli that come from revealing rather than giving them metaphorical names. —Kim Ki-taek About the Author: Hwang InChan: Born in 1988 in Anyang, South Korea.
