A \u003cem\u003esijo\u003c\/em\u003e unfolds in three verses of fourteen to sixteen syllables: the first introduces a theme, the second elaborates it, and the third provides closure—often with a twist. In these pages are \u003cem\u003esijo\u003c\/em\u003e by eminent poets of the fourteenth through eighteenth centuries, grouped into themes of nature, love, nostalgia, and dreams; each reveals something of the Korean perspective on time and life. For the fullest possible enjoyment, the poems are presented three ways: in the original Korean, in a Korean transliteration to Latin characters, and in an English translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003esijo\u003c\/em\u003e are paired with luminous original artwork by award-winning Korean illustrator Eunjoo Lee, further deepening the reader’s experience.
