News from NEPC Member, David McCann!

 David McCann has been teaching, writing, translating, and otherwise engaging Korea sijo poetry.  He and his wife attended the dedication ceremony last year for the new Sijo Stone Garden in Boryeong Korea.  He was invited to send a poem, which has been translated into Korean and turned into yet one more stone in the garden.
