A morning that began with hope,

How was your day today?

You and I, who moved forward one more day, and the hope that started our morning together—let me introduce <Song of Hope>.

"Writing poetry feels like singing." Today, I sing of hope once again.

Hope is

Like light, it seems to go well with laughter or with sweating.

I think as I walk down the road, taking one step forward.

'I like my small steps, my small gestures, my small movements.'

I want to walk among people.

With the wish that "the way I live may give strength to someone," the author dreamed, hoped, and lived, and as a result, created a book with poems and illustrations.

One summer,I began writing poetry while making a list of wishes. I collected poems written over three years and included my own pen drawings to create my first book.

<About the Book>

The writings are lyrical and warm toward small things, expressing everyday thoughts, feelings toward those around me, reminiscences, and memories of past love through poetry and illustrations.

What matters most is the positive attitude that runs throughout the writing. With a positive mindset, the world has been warm to me, and I continue to live by taking on small challenges.

Recommended for these people.

Those who need comfort and strength.

Those who love emotional poetry and illustrations.

The warmth unique to artist Lee Ji-won is evident in the illustrations, and they become even more harmonious when paired with poetry. You can feel the artist's perspective.

The book was created in 2024 with support from the Gwangju Cultural Foundation. In the winter of 2024, an exhibition centered on the original artworks was also held in Gwangju under the title <Small Steps>.

<Creators>Text/Illustration - Author Lee Ji-won (Milori)

Majored in Oriental painting. Since 2019, has been drawing pen illustrations. Driven by curiosity about materials, continues to explore and draw with various mediums. Grateful for being able to create stories with my own hands and will continue to work on my art. I believe that even small things are precious, and I hope to live like a wildflower. I often think about this. I want to keep immersing myself among people, making small discoveries with a kind gaze, and meeting others.
