Online, February 13, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Like a Prodigal Returned Home, a new book by Kim Kwang Kyu, has been released by RoseDog Books.

In our current time, people are greedy for money, fame, and lust, and we often find ourselves at the mercy of other people's desires and our speed-centered society. At first, like most people, author Kim Kwang Kyu was tired of his drab life, so he too pursued pleasure, but he felt empty. By accepting the repetitive life, he has come to a tranquility of mind. Now he is ready to face his life.

By writing poetry, he has gained the wisdom to overcome difficulties, and wants to describe the process of finding delight in doing so.

Kim Kwang Kyu was born in the countryside of South Korea. He grew up to be a reserved boy, inclined to be alone, after losing his father in his early childhood. Feeling the emptiness of the school system, he was reluctant to study hard and instead read novels and wrote poems.

After finishing graduate school in Korea, he began to teach college students and has now been teaching English for many years. He spends his free time weeding his garden, wandering over the fields, and writing poems. He also plays the violin and the guitar and enjoys ping pong and tennis.

He has one daughter, who plays the piano and goes to school in Germany.

Like a Prodigal Returned Home is a 94-page paperback with a retail price of $14.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-8276-6. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
