정은귀 한국외국어대학교 영어대학 영미문학문화학과 교수. 시를 통과한 느낌과 사유를 주고받는 나눔을 위해 매일 쓰고 매일 걷는다. 말이 사람을 살리기도 한다는 것과 시가 그 말의 뿌리가 될 수 있다는 것을 믿으며 믿음의 실천을 궁구하는 공부 길을 걷는 중이다. 번역에도 관심이 많아 심보선 시집 『슬픔이 없는 십오 초』와 이성복 시집 『아 입이 없는 것들』 영역시집 Fifteen Seconds Without Sorrow (2016) 그리고 Ah, Mouthless Things (2017)를 출간하였고 한국 현대시인 44명을 모은 The Colors of Dawn: Twentieth-Century Korean Poetry (2016)를 번역, 편집하였고 영미시를 한국에 소개하는 일도 기쁘게 하는 중. 시를 통해 우리 삶과 세계를 읽는 작업을 지속적으로 하려고 한다.
