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.
