About Sijo - Prof Mark Peterson Interview with Elizabeth Jorgensen
"Sijo in USA? Sijo Competition in USA" (August 27, 2020 posting)
Prof. Peterson interviews the winners of this 2020 sijo writing contest hosted by the Sejong Cultural Society, one in the "Adult Division" and one in the "Student Division" and also a teacher who this year has taught six winners, four students and two adults. Also, we think there are more applicants for the contest in America than there are for the largest contest in Korea. Sijo is starting to be well-known in America.
