Shin Kyeong-nim

Shin Kyeong-rim (; April 6, 1936 – May 22, 2024) was a South Korean writer who was known as a "poet of the people".

Work Shin, widely known as a poet of the people, literally spent decades writing verse on basically one subject: the life and people of Korean farming villages. Although the focus of his debut works, "Reed" (Galdae) and "Graveside Epitaph" (Myobi) is not restricted to the lives of farmers, the bulk of his remaining poems do treat that particular topic. The poems of his first collection, Farmer's Dance (Nongmu, 1975), are coherent in their depiction of the actualities of farming life but retain a certain sense of poetic lyricism that lends them a measure of grace.
