Indeterminate Inflorescence by Lee Seong-Bok
4.5
Indeterminate Inflorescence is made up of 470 beautifully translated notes from the creative writing lectures of Lee Seong-bok, one of South Korea's most prominent living poets.
You can approach reading this in so many different ways: use it for writing prompts and topics of discussion, or just reflect and be challenged by the insightful and wry ways he expresses life, poetry, and art.
<i>"Even when walking with a good friend, it's hard to walk in step when your rhythms differ. Life and pain must be accepted in their rhythms and sent off in their rhythms. All learning, like surfing, is about learning rhythm."</i>
I've been dipping in and out of these writing aphorisms for the last couple of months and, in the meantime, have already gifted it to a poet friend for their birthday and am ready to send it to another friend.
It's impossible not to want to share the wisdom in this book with others. I recommend it to anyone who writes, loves poetry, or just enjoys another's perspective on art.
