Attention to the impressed poetry of the disabled. The Pukyong National University's Gijang Humanities Cities Support Project (Responsible Professor Chae Young-hee • Department of Korean Language and Literature), hosted by the Korea Research Foundation, runs poem creative education program, "Sirang Nolgi,"(playing with poem) aimed at people with disabilities in the Busan Gyeongnam area, and their collection of poems 「다! 詩다」 has been published on the 15th. Those who wrote the poem were Kang Eun-jin and 29 other students belonging to the Busan Vocational Ability Development Institute of Busan Employment Agency of Korea (Gijang-gun Jeonggwan-eup, Industrial Complex 5). These poets of various ages ranging from teenagers to 60s spent the first two weeks in the classroom for two hours starting from 7:00 pm every Monday for 12 weeks from September to November last year at 'Sirang Nolgi' class room, and these poets learned and wrote poetry for the first time in their life. In a poem titled 'Eyes', Park Jung-min criticizes the public's view of the disabled by saying, "In an undertone, in whispers, so sad, I want to have a drink." Shin Min-joon's poem "Eyes" means "I'm scared of people's eyes. The eyes are like cold snow."
Kim Young-min, in his poem 'Earthworm', "Do not step on. wigglling, the earthworms are sad, too. I have friends too. I have loved families, "he cries out to the world. Their impressive poetry is meeting with their readers in an exhibition of illustrated poems which is started at the lobby of Gijang-gun Office (10th ~ 17th), will be held in three libraries: Jeonggwan Library (18th ~ 27th) and the Busan Employment Agency (28th ~ 4th June). Kim Soon-a, who lectured on "Sirang Nolgi," said, "Students initially felt difficult to poetry but expressed their inner voices as poetry sooner and they started to get confidence, I had a precious time to understand and communicate with myself, nature, and nature through poetry." Meanwhile, The Pukyong National University's Gijang Humanities Cities Support Project hosted by the Korea Research Foundation has been receiving a great reputation since July 2016, as it aims to make people's lives happier in humanities by operating diverse lectures, experiential activities and festivals. <Pukyong Today> |
