“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.

Dear Mr. Y.T. Kim Congratulations! I am very proud of publishing a few lines of my review of your writings to be published in the U.S. in the future. Mr. Y.T. Kim has recently explored his magnificent, exhilarating masterpiece to its bare essentials. He offers us the gist of this new century literature, even with poetic touches of waking power, inspiration and the Korean epiphany. His hope is that this Modernistic labor of love will tempt readers to revel in the Far-East prodigious world of the artistic phenomenology. And of even greater importance is his sense of its fresh flair and wit. Chong-Keon Kim, Korea University, Seoul Young-Tae Kim (People call him by the initial: "Y.T.")
