ⓘ About Linda Sue Park
Her most popular poetry collection makes use of Korean syllabic verse to bring humor and surprise to everyday objects and moments. Linda had always been an avid reader since her childhood growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. By the time she turned four she was writing stories and poetry and that was before she even joined kindergarten. The bookworm would often be found reading the likes of EL Konigsberg, Laura Ingalls and Nancy Drew as she grew older. At only nine years old, she published a haiku in a then popular magazine from which she was paid nine dollars. Throughout her high school years, she continued publishing in publications before she went to Stanford for her English degree. When she graduated from college, she got a job with a major oil company as a public relations writer.
