Book Description from the Front Cover Flap

What's sijo?
A type of poem that originated in Korea.
But what is it?
A sijo has a fixed number of stressed syllables, usually divided into three or six lines.
Like haiku?
Kind of. But a sijo always has a surprise, an unexpected twist or joke, at the end.
Sounds like fun.
It is. You'll see.
