Why Did the Cheese Cross the Road?

How many ‘wheys’ can cheese make us laugh?

A favorite food around the world, makers of cheese must have learned long ago that their work had a comedic life of its own! This is nowhere more evident than when you unite cheese with word play. For, in addition to being a marvelous product shared by cheeseheads seemingly everywhere, an increasingly valuable by-product of cheese making is whey. Indeed, when you combine cheesey cheese jokes with other word play and mix in some cheesey geography – as I do here to illustrate cheese’s international scope – you find that you soon have a chapter on ‘whey’ itself (not to mention its cousins in the name of cheese humor, ‘way’ and ‘weigh’). So as I serve up the funny side of cheese here, don’t simply “say cheese.” Rather, please remember to let yourself laugh - and laugh lots because one good cheese joke deserves another!

The Islands Are Not Lonely II

“I have had the privilege of engaging with the literary world of Yonah Jeong. His work evolves in parallel with his life’s journey, reflecting his experiences with striking authenticity. As an immigrant navigating bilingual expression, his dedication to English poetry is deeply admirable. His poetry is both intuitive and richly layered, offering immediate resonance while inviting deeper contemplation over time. I encourage readers to approach his work with an open mind, free from preconceptions.

Some connections grow stronger with time, while others are shaped by distance. I believe that my connection with him stems from a shared literary curiosity and a philosophical perspective. It is the beginning of a unique relationship—one that transcends age, distance, and time, where we respect each other's path, never intruding, only offering quiet encouragement.

For example, he's been writing poetry like three meals a day since he published his first book of poetry, as well as another thousand or so philosophical one-line poems. Of course, not all of them are at the level of a work of art, but I believe that they have the potential to be, and his perseverance and persistence is what keeps our relationship as poetic comrades.”

– Jun C. Kim, CEO of the Korean Literature Society of America.
