the Society has sponsored an annual sijo-writing contest, as well as workshops for teachers to explore ways to bring the sijo into their classrooms. The SCS website provides information, articles, video lectures, performances, and other materials to assist learning about the sijo, writing it and teaching others how to write it.
The present volume brings these resources and more into a single unified set for teachers and writers in Part ¥° and ¥±, followed by an array of sijo poems from the SCS¡¯ annual contest.
The contributors to this volume have worked to promote a better understanding of Korean culture and history. I taught Korean literature at Cornell University and Harvard University and turned to writing my own sijo in English relatively recently. My chapter explores sijo¡¯s performance dimensions, not only as a verse form that was sung, but also as a dramatically active, engaged form of literary culture.
