"Insightful, illuminating, ethical and revealing verses from an International business leader, a historian and scholar. A must read for all interested in understanding our ever changing World." --Malcolm Gudis, Former Sr. VP and Board of Directors of Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS), Texas, U.S.A. In his first collection of English poems, Korean writer Young-Tae Kim presents a remarkable anthology of work with themes ranging from political musings on an international scale to living well in an increasingly global world. Kim offers a unique blend of the modern and traditional, as overtones of the poet's Eastern cultural roots permeate each page. In addition to musings on present-day society, A Candle from the Far East (Poems) offers reflections on more emotional themes--such as the growth of deep and profound love, alienation of once close friendships over time, and finding purpose through spiritual growth--culminating in a beautifully rich collection of works that have universal applicability. The end result is a collection that readers will turn to time and time again and one that successfully shares wisdom and contributes to the well-being of all. Young-Tae Kim was born in Tokyo, Japan, and moved to Seoul, South Korea in his youth. After graduating with a degree in English literate from Seoul National University, he became a businessman and worked for LG Group of Korea for forty years. During the course of his prestigious business career--during which he was decorated by the President of the Republic of Korea with a National Order of Camellia--Kim always continued to write poetry, novels, and essays. Kim lives with his wife in Seoul, South Korea.
