정 - Jeong: Poems of Affection is a deeply personal poetry collection that explores love, longing, identity, and healing through the lens of Korean language and culture. Written entirely in Korean by Dana Sandu, a Romanian who fell in love with South Korea, its language, and its people, this book is a love letter to a country that captivated her for over 17 years. Though she never formally studied Korean, Dana taught herself through daily exposure-books, conversation, and deep listening. Born out of a quiet season of recovery following a concussion, the poems in this collection reflect a desire to reconnect-with language, with emotion, and with a part of the self that once felt lost. Inspired by the traditional Korean poetic form sijo, these poems carry a rhythm that honours Korean sensibility while forging a modern, personal style. Divided into four sections-Self, Love, Life Stories, and Korean Culture-this collection blends poetic expression with visual art, including a chapter where each poem is paired with an image in the style of sihwa (詩畵). One section even experiments with traditional vertical script to evoke classical Korean aesthetics. At its heart, this book is about "jeong"-the untranslatable emotional bond that ties people, places, and memories together. Through these poems, the author hopes to pass that warmth and connection on to you. **《정 - Jeong: Poems of Affection》**은 사랑, 그리움, 정체성, 그리고 치유를 한국어와 한국 문화의 시선을 통해 탐구하는 매우 개인적인 시집입니다. 이 책은 루마니아 출신의 작가 다나 산두가 한국, 그 언어, 그리고 사람들에게 매료되어 17년 넘게 사랑해 온 나라에 바치는 러브레터입니다. 책 전체는 한국어로만 쓰였습니다. 다나는 정식으로 한국어를 배운 적은 없지만, 책을 읽고, 대화를 나누고, 귀 기울이며 매일매일 노출되는 과정을 통해 독학으로 한국어를 익혔습니다. 이 시집은 작가가 뇌진탕을 겪은 뒤 조용한 회복기를 보내며 쓰기 시작한 작품들로, 언어와 감정, 그리고 한때 잃어버린 듯했던 자아의 일부분과 다시 연결되고자 하는 바람을 담고 있습니다. 전통 한국 시 형식인 시조에서 영감을 받은 이 시들은 한국적인 감성과 운율을 살리면서도 현대적이고 개인적인 스타일로 재구성되었습니다. 책은 '자신', '사랑에 대해', '인생에 스토리', '한국 문화'의 네 장으로 구성되어 있으며, 그중 한 장에서는 각 시마다 그림을 함께 실어 시화(詩畵) 형식의 미학적 결합을 시도했습니다. 또 다른 장에서는 전통적인 세로쓰기를 통해 고전적인 한국의 아름다움을 시각적으로도 표현하고자 했습니다. 무엇보다 이 책의 중심에는 '정'이 있습니다 - 사람과 장소, 기억을 깊이 있게 이어주는, 번역하기 어려운 한국만의 정서. 이 시들을 통해 작가는 그 따뜻함과 연결의 감정을 독자 여러분과 나누고자 합니다.
