"Belly Button Disc contains about 50 poems by Dongho Kim who investigates the mysteries of life and the world we inhabit from a Taoistic lens. His poems exhibit the insights he has harvested throughout his life-long sauntering through the mountains of Lao-tze and Chuang-tze. Though he sings of the depth of Oriental thoughts, Kim does not hesitate to tell of the painful reality of our lives. This double vision allows him to stand apart from the pressing issues that haunt us incessantly. Hence the many ironies, satires, and paradoxes found in his poems. However, these weapons of rhetoric are not aimed at others. They are, instead, directed toward himself, which is why his poetry is seldom biting or vicious, but rather humorous. This comedic quality is the most prominent characteristic of Kim's poetry. With his sense of humor, Kim overthrows the obstinate, rock-hard preconceptions and prejudices, and directs us to uncover hidden facets of things."--
