A sijo, a traditional Korean verse form, has a fixed number of stressed syllables and a humorous or ironic twist at the end Like haiku, sijo are brief and accessible, and the witty last line winds up each poem with a surprise The verses in this book illuminate funny, unexpected, amazing aspects of the everyday--of breakfast, thunder and lightning, ожулэ houseplants, tennis, freshly laundered socks Carefully crafted and deceptively simple, Linda Sue Park's sijo are a pleasure to read and an irresistible invitation to experiment with an unfamiliar poetic form Istvan Banyai's irrepressibly giddy and sophisticated illustrations add a one-of-a-kind luster to a book that is truly a gem Автор Linda Sue Park Linda Sue Park.  LefevreИздательство: Clarion Books, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 48 стр ISBN 0618234837.
