Seoul Book and Culture Club will be hosting best-selling author and poet Ahn Do-hyeon on Saturday.

A collection of poems translated into English by BrotherAnthony of Taize was recently released by Asia Publishers.
Ahn Do-hyun and event host Barry Welsh will read some of Ahn’s poems together and talk about his work, with English interpretation, followed by a question and answer session with the audience and a book signing.
The event runs at Seoul Global Cultural Center in the M Plaza building in Myeong-dong from 4-6 p.m. Admission is free.
