Kim offers a unique blend of the modern and traditional, as overtones of the poet's Eastern cultural roots permeate each page.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoung-Tae Kim was born in Tokyo, Japan, and moved to Seoul, South Korea in his youth.
