Sijo, a 700-year-old Korean poetry form, is flourishing in modern-day poetry circles. Writers around the world are composing and publishing sijo, teaching it to classes, and competing with it for prizes. With only three lines, and 46 syllables, how much can a poet fit within its confines? The answer is a world of story and emotion! In SIJO: Korea’s Poetry Form, Sejong Cultural Society’s executive director Lucy Park and writer and educator Elizabeth Jorgensen create a primer for the poet. Written in three sections, their book presents the history of sijo, sample lessons for those teaching sijo, and a chapter of modern award-winning poems with critiques by the experts. With artwork by Wonsook Kim and contributions from sijo experts including David McCann, Mark Peterson, Seong-Kon Kim, Linda Sue Park, and Kwan-ho Seo, SIJO: Korea’s Poetry Form offers unparalleled instruction and advice on studying, teaching and writing sijo.
