After much begging, harassment and cajoling, I am happy to present the very first post from our first guest writer for Gyeongjublog: local poet and teacher Angus MacCaull.  Here is piece he composed in the forests of Banwolseong Fortress.  -Sherwin

It is not just the distant string

by Angus MacCaull

It is not just the distant string
carried in the wind,

but also the dog
from several courtyards, the chorus
of cricket and frog,

light night traffic
and You

the dear Self I knew, once
at the end of desire and fear.
