The Day Something Was Different (English Edition)

[About the Book]
One day, the world begins to look just slightly different.
Not because of a major event, but due to a faint, unexplainable sense of something being “off.”
This collection of poetry moves quietly between reality and imagination, beginning with familiar scenes from everyday life.
A man dressed like Santa, who was digging for wild yams in the hills behind the house—only to vanish without a trace.
A presence that runs along an icy road, warning of danger to life.
A girl who sends a silent signal after seeing my swollen, darkened eye.
Ordinary landscapes, moments in time, words, people, animals, and plants—
once carried by the rhythm of poetry, they begin to gently yet powerfully unsettle our sense of the world.
As you read on, you will come to realize:
this is not a collection about “strange events.”
It is a book of poems that allows us to reconnect with the emotions and memories we have long overlooked.
