  Wiman Joseon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wiman was originally a refugee from the Chinese state of Yan.
Wiman Joseon expanded to control a vast territory and became strong economically by controlling trade between China's Han Dynasty and the outlying regions to the northeast.
Feeling increasingly threatened by the growing Wiman Joseon, and fearing she would ally with the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of Han China launched an attack on Wiman Joseon in 109 BC.

 Ploughshares, the literary journal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Wiman develops plot and character as a novel might, but with the concision and repletion of verse.
In between those two poems, Wiman treats the reader to a cluster of lyrics as inviting as a flberry bramble buzzing in summer with drunk insects, as full of sweetness and scars.
Wiman is no impersonator among the masses mimicking Frost’s mannerisms, but a voice possessed of the same rare virtues: independence from poetic fashion, an inviting surface transparency over turbulent depths, shared thematic concerns (home and family, for instance), and an ability to make regional speech representative and individual lives universal.

 Changing the landscape of verse | csmonitor.com
Poet and editor Christian Wiman admits that he is "terrible with money." He has never had a lot of it and is careful about what he spends.
Wiman's unease with money is just one example of how he defies expectation.
Wiman says his goals are twofold: to publish the best poetry being written and to "create a place for everyone." To achieve the latter, he's introduced several features to the 92-year-old journal, which helped launch the careers of major poets, such as T.S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, and Carl Sandburg.

When the Deere and Wiman families called Overlook home, a winding driveway guided their guests to the main entrance beneath a porte cochere on the house's west side.
Vistors entering the house in 1872 were probably escorted into one of two formal rooms on the first floor, the morning room and a front parlor, which were separated by a wall with a fireplace on each side.
Guests of the Deere and Wiman families were also entertained in a music room across the hall from the living room.
