And check out the photo there of a creepy tree out in Salem, Virginia.  Seriously, that thing is straight out of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'” (1937) haunted forest.

My poetry was translated into Chinese for a third time by the Poetry Hall quarterly bilingual journal.

Wonderful news!  Poetry Hall translated selections of my work into Chinese for a third time.  The quarterly bilingual journal printed my poems “Feast,” “Bumblebee,” and “she” in Issue 27, which you can order right here at Amazon.  The publication has a truly interesting format in that it features poems in both languages, side by side.

Poetry Hall is a not-for-profit journal that is published by the Chinese Poetry Association.  Its mission is to “introduce well-written Chinese and English poetry to the world in both its original language and translation forms. ”  It showcases work from contributors worldwide, and also has a global readership.

Throwback Thursday: “Top Gun” (1986)

Leave a comment

“Top Gun” (1986) was the second movie I ever saw with Val Kilmer.  (I’ve written here before about how much I loved 1985’s “Real Genius.”)  Kilmer made a great story antagonist, and the difference between his role here and the preceding year’s affable prodigy really showed his versatility as an actor.

What a flick “Top Gun” was, too.  Sure, it’s easy to make fun of after 40 years.  But it still made an indelible mark on the culture.

I’ve heard that Kilmer even has a role in 2022’s sequel.  I haven’t seen it yet; I might have to rectify that soon.
