Lee Sang-ho, CNU staff of the Information Computing Institute (ICI), had become a hot topic of conversation because he made his debut as a poet earlier this year. And another poet was born again at the ICI. Park Joo-hyun, Chief of the Administrative Office of the ICI, was named the Poet of the Month by Munyesajo, one of the most prestigious literary journals in Korea. Munyesajo invited the public to join in a prize contest for best poems and Park was selected in the contest category of new poets for his outstanding poems, \"Random Thoughts on an Autumnal Day\", \"Let
s Go to the Woods\", and \"Eternal Mt. Mudeung\". Park, 53, started to write poems about four years ago, while he climbed up the mountains on weekends. He expressed his impressions and thoughts through poems. Last year he started to study how to write poems at the CNU Continuing Education Center. An examiner of the journal Munyesajo said, \"Park
s works describe autumn skies of sentimental moods with a serene attitude. The poetic expressions with forced interpretation usually fail to arouse sympathy, however, Park
s outspokenness and unaffectedness created a sensation among the readers.\" Park said, \"It is the first time in my fifty-year-long lifetime that I am so much pleased. I started to be fond of poems because of Han Yong-un, known under his Buddhist sobriquet of Manhae. I have studies steadily while taking writing classes of the CNU Continuing Education Center. I am so pleased to have made a debut as a poet. I will take every step necessary to write better poems based on my past experiences.\"
