    About this ebook

    These are poems I wrote while living in South Korea. I have to admit that the atmosphere of the country affected my writing in an almost mystical fashion. It is certainly The Land of the Morning Calm.

    I am an English teacher from California, living in Arizona. I have taught overseas and in the States. I have had bored students, interested students, engaged students and others. I would rather have interested and engaged students and hopefully, this book will help my students and other teachers on that path.
