『산상문답山上問答』은운율과비유등표현기교를중시하는형식중심의시에서내용이주도하는시를쓸수없을까고민한임보시인이30년간쓰고완성한의욕의산물이다.여느철학서못지않게철학적깊이를담고있는‘철학시’라일컬을만하다.처음엔산중문답으로시작하였으나,중국당나라때의시인이백이쓴『산중문답』과제목이겹쳐서『산상문답山上問答』으로바꾸었다고시인은밝히고있다.

『산상문답山上問答』에수록된시편들은특별히비유나상징으로감추어표현한것이없어누구나읽으면그뜻을명징하게이해할수있다.더구나역자인여국현시인이오랜번역경험과다년간축적한시작경험을바탕으로의욕적으로작업하여한영시집으로펴낸다.외국의시를번역한것이아니라한국의시를영어로번역했다는데에큰의의를두며,이번역시가세계의문단에우뚝서길기대한다.
