A Vietnamese client asked for a refund for a defective good. The refund was late and the client was very angry. He wrote a long poem complaining about it. Here is the story. I’m sorry, Vietnam I received your letter and I felt sorry and ashamed. You bought goods from me on February 14th, 2023. You asked for a refund because the goods were defective. I said I would send the refund on February 20th. But I didn’t. I kept saying I would send it but I didn’t. You waited and waited and got very angry. You sent me an angry message on March 3rd. You said I was very bad and you would never buy from me again. I don’t blame you. I was very bad. I’m sorry. I’ll send your refund now. Please forgive me. I’ll try to be better. I’m sorry, Vietnam. I’ll send your money by bank transfer. I’ll send it today. I promise. I’m sorry again. Please forgive me. I regret what happened. I regret my mistake. I’ll try harder. I’m sorry once more. I hope you can forgive me. I hope we can do business again. I’m sorry, Vietnam. END
A collection of poetry titled 'I'm Sorry, Vietnam' by Korean poets explores the country's history and its relationship with Vietnam. The project, titled 'So That We Have Lived, We Must Speak,' features photographs, testimonies, and poetry created by nine poets in collaboration with the 'One Hope for Peace Foundation,' which collected and organized materials.
The poets used various experimental forms, including blackout poetry, pound poetry, and visual poetry. The collection aims to help Koreans reflect on their own history and foster understanding between the two nations.
