February is here The second month of the year With this second issue we bring a second New Year. Hotter than spices More dangerous than ISIS Herein is Gwangju’s response to the climate crisis. Everyone in every nation Has dreams; they are a sensation But Korea has a long tradition of dream interpretation. Lost in Gwangju, is that right? Wander through tunnels dark as night As preservation progresses at the May 18 torture site. Minhwa painting, long in history Offers a picture of Korean glory Tigers, clouds, magpies, dragons, here they join to tell the story On GFN, the radio There’s lots to listen to, you know High up on their lengthy list: The Drop with Danno. We bring the Gwangju City News, And “Who is Mark Gonzales?” we muse, On school zone safety, see a concerned mother’s views. Read about Valentine’s Day, Speak post office talk in Korean Everyday, And see “My First Snowfall,” our snowy white photo essay. Try our recipe for kimchi-jjim Visit Blessing Burger, a hidden gem Sample macarons at The Plain, or give a go at all of them. English through storybook teaching And student-centered classes we are preaching As for the Language Exchange, towards expertise it is reaching. Puzzle over our monthly crossword Read two poets who yearn to be heard Open February’s Gwangju News and peruse its every word. As always, stay COVID smart And stay COVID safe Throughout the COVID scourge. David E. Shaffer Editor-in-Chief Gwangju News
