Writing Korean Sijo Poetry in English

Published on August 7, 2025 by Editorial StaffLeave a comment

A couple of years ago I dove deeply into Korean Sijo. You’ll find a number of these poems on this website, some which have won prizes in international competition. First appearing in 14th century Korea, Sijo is longer than Haiku and goes beyond imagery into story telling. I think you’ll like playing around with this one. Read an article I that wrote to get you started HERE. It’s in PDF format so you can download and print it if you have a mind to. Let me know what you think.
