One Day, Then Another is dedicated to giving voice to the voiceless. His poetic task is to find a way to honor the weak and disenfranchised. He does not rush headlong to expose them, but takes small cautious steps through the cracks into the hidden world. Then, in full empathy, he becomes part of that world.
“In Kim Kwang-kyu’s poems, we are asked to think more deeply about the failures of the modern world, and our own share of responsibility for those failures, in the hope that, all together, we shall be able to advance towards a more humane future, one in which these poems will perhaps no longer be needed, but until which such poems are absolutely necessary for human survival.”— Brother Anthony
