if their palm lines endure,
clear as mountains and rivers
Whether its gravity settles
like fruit

崔燉美｜IPNHK 2025 嘉賓談「浮標」

我想到，我的家或許就像系在我手腕上的浮標，它漂浮著，與我的寫作緊密相連。浮標的意象與寫作本身有著深深的關聯。正因我的家像浮標一樣，永遠漂浮著，我才得以不斷潛入深海，去探索我遷徙的歷史和韓國的歷史。

阿弗里扎爾·馬爾納｜IPNHK 2025 嘉賓談「浮標」

Poetry is a buoy for anyone who respects this earth and life, as we respect our mother. And war is the most cursed culture that has helped shape the dark history of mankind.

[IPNHK @IPNHK]

It gives people direction and gives them peace of mind. It is the stars, whether bright or dim, that speak softly to the traveler.

語凡｜IPNHK 2025 嘉賓談「浮標」

A buoy is a guide, even if it is insignificant; a buoy is a small force, even if it is small. Every word can be a buoy, in the ocean into a point, into a dimension, into you and me.
