“When the best is gone, I know that other things are not of consequence –- the heart wants what it wants or else it does not care.”
— Emily Dickinson

This is how I glare at the drones circling overhead.
YOU SENT THEM, DIDN’T YOU?!!??!
Hey, whatever happened to those flocks of mystery zones that comprised a national mystery like … six months ago? Do you guys remember that? Everyone in the northeast was seeing drones and reporting them to the police and Congress and the FAA.
Did we ever find out what the deal was with that?
Poetry Hall (诗殿堂) bilingual journal translates three more of my poems into Chinese.
I’m honored today to see Poetry Hall (诗殿堂) yet again translate my poetry for its global population of Chinese readers. Issue 28 of the quarterly bilingual journal includes the following three short poems: “Delaware Sheets” (特拉华床单), “Redbud Leaves” (紫荆叶), and “Sullen Robin Haiku” (愠怒知更鸟).
You can find Issue 28 over at Amazon right here.
As I’ve noted here in the past, Poetry Hall has a truly engaging publication format, in which poems appear in English along with their Chinese translations, side by side.
I am grateful to Editor in Chief Xu Yingcai and translator Zhang Ning for allowing me to share my voice with Chinese speakers throughout the world.
