Media Response/Awards Received

- In her second poetry collection One’s Closed Door, published in 2019, Soran Park writes about sadness—about the sadness around herself, the sadness around us. A common motif in her works is a “door”. She uses the door to open a “presentable life” (Doorknob), to connect to the world of the dead (Mother’s Brother), and to leave (The Stranger). Inviting the readers to come knock on this “door”, the poet demonstrates the dark side of the daily urban life through her sensitive language. The readers are sure to be moved by the substantial tremor that she creates, banging on the closed door. They will be reminded that there is always “someone” standing on the other side of the door.
