심보선 (SHIM Bo Sun)

SHIM Bo Sun (b. 1970) was born in Seoul and studied sociology at Seoul National University and received his Ph. D from Columbia University. In his first poetry collection, Fifteen Seconds without Sorrow (2008), he challenges readers to encounter the “inevitableness” of beings in this post-capitalistic system. Crossing the quotidian cityscape, the poet sharply catches the logic that makes us move, makes the current system run. The image of streets, paths, silence, and shadow is precisely overlapped with the image of minds. He is currently a professor of culture and management at Kyung-Hee Cyber University.
