Kim Su-yong (Kim, Su-yeong) (1921-1968) tragic death in a traffic accident robbed Korea of a major poetic voice. During his life time, he did not enjoy the reputation he deserved, but in the years following his death critics began to pay much more attention to him and his importance in the historical development of contemporary Korean poetry is now widely recognized.
In his lifetime, he only published one volume of poetry, Dalnara-ui jangnan (A Game Played in the Moon), in 1959. In his poems he rejects the idea that certain lofty topics alone are worthy to be the subjects of poetry, and focusses on the most ordinary events of daily life.
