Though Flowers Fall I Have Never Forgotten You, by Jeong Ho-seung and translated by Brother Anthony of Taizé, announces itself as a poem of memory before it becomes a book. The falling flowers are not only seasonal. They mark beauty passing, affection changing form, and the persistence of devotion after visible signs disappear. Jeong’s Korean poetry often carries an accessible emotional openness, and this title suggests a collection that is not afraid of tenderness. I would read it as a book about remembrance without embarrassment. Brother Anthony’s translation likely keeps the phrasing clear enough for the feeling to arrive directly. The danger with such titles is sentimentality, but poetry can earn sentiment when it lets loss remain real. This seems like a quiet, sincere, and flower-haunted volume.
