Preface Many poets, John Nemnich here included, would have each of their small offerings stand straight and tall, or sing or dance, without crutches, even worse, read by means of a single principle of analysis. But some practical assis- tance for the reader should be given, such as historical background, especially in that poets stretch and drag about readers, at least to some degree, in this post-modern era. The history of the 165 poems presented here is varied, some begun over 30 years ago, but most more recently, born in Nemnich's 12 year ESL (English as second language) teaching days at Chungnam National University, Department of English in Daejeon, Korea. Daejeon is a re- gional city of some two million, and it should be understood that it differs from Seoul, the megalopolis, in varied and significant ways. That is, “Korea” and “Koreans” are not a simple place nor culture. As a consequence, views and themes of these poems cannot be taken in na- tionalistic simplicity. Similarly, readers should not too quickly take the writer as a typical or even representative U.S. citizen. The intended readership, largely Korean uni- versity students, was a major factor, to generally avoid slang, academics and esoteric vocabulary. But the guideline was as much a help as a hindrance, given the writer's academic teaching position, in Korea, and his desire to be readable to a wide audience, both native and non-native English language speakers. Hopefully, readers can see and follow how modern Korean culture and people have been viewed by one Western, expatriate writer, and also, how his twelve years in the dynamic, at times chaotic, nation has shaped him. Typical of post-modern works, the text is a synthesis, encompassing several points of view and voices?pluralistic poetry, with limited and free use of rhyme, syllable count, repetition, line length, and theme. Doctor Nemnich has attempted to enter and work within the realm of poetry based on open-mindedness, close observation and discovery of self and the immediate world which borders those factors. This may sound quite idealistic and perhaps even naively romantic; let each reader respond; to what else can a con- temporary poet aspire?
