Published in 1983, this first collection by Hwang Ji-u introduces 60 of his poems including the title poem “Even Birds Leave the World,” which portrays the dark days of oppression under dictatorship. Critics have described his poems as poetry filled with a political message in addition to satire and sarcasm.

1983년에 출간된 황지우 시인의 첫 시집이다. 표제시인 <새들도 세상을 뜨는구나>를 포함하여 60편의 시가 수록되어 있다. 표제시는 1980년대의 군사독재와 그로 인한 암울한 현실을 냉소적으로 비판하는 내용이 담겨 있다. 이 시집은 전통적인 시 관념을 넘어서는 동시에 현실에 대한 날카로운 풍자와 부정의 정신이 돋보인다고 평가된다.
