“Eun Young Jin's We, Day by Day turns the hourglass over and over in sensuous, startling poems that ravish the senses with the swirl and torque of their image-drenched surfaces. Whether suturing NoHae Park and Pablo Neruda together in a cinematic sweep or refusing the global economy's demands to rush and sign over one's literary life, Jin's portraiture is time illuminated by an intelligence committed to "how strange questions, fountains of brilliant blood, gush unceasingly in the boundless desert of answers." Attentive to this good strangeness, Young Shil Ji and Daniel T. Parker's taunt translation effortlessly renders Jin's deep song with clear and urgent resonance.”

—Jennifer Kwan Dobbs, author of Interrogation Room

Born in Daejon, South Korea in 1970, Jin Eun-young received a Ph.D. in Western Philosophy from Ehwa Women’s University in Seoul. She has three books of poetry, including Dictionary Composed of Seven Words (2003), We, Day by Day (2008), and Songs Being Stolen (2012). She has also written books about philosophical studies, including Taking Reason to Court (2004), Nietzsche, Philosophy of Eternal Recurrence and Difference (2007), and Atopos of Literature (2014). She is a professor at Korea Counseling Graduate University and a contributing editor for Changbi (quarterly journal) as well as an advisory contributing editior for Daesan Culutre (quarterly journal).

Jin has been continually building interest and affection from Korean readers for her sensuous imagery and unique metaphors. As a philosopher, she has been continuously expanding her own realm of poetry, a new world where sociological imagination, political reflections and poetic features are blended together in her intensely critical consciousness.   

She won the 2008 Young Poet prize (awarded by fellow authors) and has also received the Kim Daljin Literary Award for Young Poets (2011), the Contemporary Literature Award (2011), the Chun Sang-byung Poetry Prize (2013) and the Daesan Literary Award (2013). 

Jin participated in a colloquy with French philosopher Alain Badiou in the conference Stop, Think hosted by the College of Humanities at Kyung Hee University in 2013.
