Once again, readers will discover a rich and varied array of contemporary Korean literary and image work in the current issue of Azalea journal. We celebrate the 100th anniversary of the births of two of the twentieth century’s great Korean writers, Midang So Chongju, the poet, and Hwang Sunwon, the short story and novelwriter. Periodically, as the cultural, political, and historical tides in Korea have fallen and risen only to fall and rise again, these two writers have been lionized, denigrated, taken as emblems of Korea’s literary capabilities and accomplishments, or set to the side as passé, out-of-sync, politically unacceptable, or just too old to matter. Yet readers will find a rich array of reflections on these two writers and examples of their literary accomplishments. May you savor and treasure. Let us resolve to keep these writers central to our understanding of the terrain that Korean literature traversed in the twentieth century and to comprehend how much it would lose if it did not value, even treasure, these and others in the twenty-first.Then we find writers who have taken the stage in the twentyfirst century, now already a century since So Chongju and Hwang Sunwon were born. Contemporary fiction from our featured writer, Lee Eyunkee, whose work gives a new, contemporary meaning to that term, is followed by the work of a series of poets and otherfiction writers of today, as well as a nostalgic glance back at the twentieth-century poet Chong Chiyong.Readers are invited once again to savor the results of Chicago’s Sejong Cultural Society’s annual sijo-writing contest. Nearly one thousand entries came in, from all over. It is a pleasure to see the enthusiasm for the sijo growing among younger writers in their English-language practice of the form and to be able to make roomfor their works in our journal. One hundred years from now, may Korean poetry and fiction, graphic arts, photography, and yes, the sijo, be more widely known and ever more deeply appreciated.Finally, we are grateful for the encouragement and support that the International Communication Foundation has provided to Azalea’s growth and vitality as a literary journal dedicated to these ends. Yet we join with the Foundation and with family members in sadness at the passing last year of Dr. Yeo Seok-ki, the Foundation’spresident. A dedicated visionary in seeking to encourage the wider and deeper appreciation of Korean literature, Dr. Yeo was also a nimble raconteur and conversationalist. I enjoyed the luncheon meetings that I was fortunate to have with him over the years, as well as the more formal communications regarding workshops and other program initiatives. He was always there, and he will be—in our thoughts, memories, and hearts.
Six short stories from the past...I don't get to write short stories much anymore, but I love writing them. Short stories was where I started, back when I was twelve and my sixth grade teacher handed me an empty theme book and asked me to fill it up. I had turned in a story the day before for extra credit and she liked it.Most of my short stories have been lost, particularly those written using my old typewriter back before I had a computer, and more than a few written with only pencil and paper. But I did manage to hang onto a couple from way back when.I thought I'd bring some of these old stories out into the light. I hope you like 'em.--drb
A general store, old and all worn out, sits alone on a long-forgotten highway. A wooden porch runs the width of the weathered storefront.On the porch sits the Storekeeper, one arm draped across the back of the comfortable bench. He welcomes each of the new arrivals, one by one, as they come in off the highway.Strangers, all on foot, arriving from very different pasts; none know how they ended up there or where they are going.A stageplay in three acts - the complete play script

Inception of "The Playground Principle": I was recently asked by a graduate student at a presentation of mine, "If you could do it all over again, what would you do differently?" My mind was sent spinning, crafting answers without understanding the question, so I asked, "Can you be more specific? I mean, If I could do exactly 'What' all over again?" "In other words, what can you tell me about achieving success in the workplace? What really matters?" she asked. I offered a few suggestions, but never came to a succinct response. After hours of retrospect since this encounter, a single theme comes to mind: Hone your people agility skills. Contrary to myriad management textbooks, the proficiency for effective working relationships is self-learned and developed over the years--at school recess. Here lies the inception of the "Playground Principle," a 6,000 word Top-10 of sorts, that will help resurrect these distant childhood and teenage relationship building experiences.
We've all dreamed about having a twin; physically identical in every way so that no one could tell you apart. My life has been exactly this; I am John Stone, the geeky MIT-grad now military intelligence officer (the "brain") and my identical twin brother Joe, who boasts a 25-year U.S. Special Forces career (the "brawn"). Our co-development of a TOP-SECRET DoD remote sensing technology unexpectedly catapulted us into a world in which we must secretly swap identities, requiring every bit of our ingenuity and training, to stay one step ahead of our captors just to stay alive. This is my story.
Present day...A man returns to a long-abandoned neighborhood. Doors stand ajar, shutters hang open, lawns and landscaping are unkempt. The man sits on the curb and opens a leather-bound journal. Through the journal, he recalls the events that took place in Ravenhill decades earlier. Journey back to 1964...The man is just a boy. He and his friends find that their neighborhood, a cul-de-sac set into the foothills along the California coast, is not all that it appears. There are strange happenings; some amazing, some terrifying, and all pointing to the fact that this little community of families might just be something other than what the rest of the world perceives it to be. Thirteen year-old Ben Foster, along with his friends Peter and Louis, and his older sister Julie, set out to find the secret behind the peculiar events that the outside world doesn't see and that those living in the neighborhood either choose to ignore or are conspiring to keep hidden. Young Peter will set the tales down in his journal, which years later a grown Ben Foster will clasp to as the last surviving corroboration of their adventures and of their astonishing discovery.
