Much is heard and spoken in Inhaling the Silencethat is worthy of plenty of rereads. Anna has a receptive and meditative soul and what she has inhaled in the silence, she generously breaths back in life giving speech—this poetic missive is oxygen for the soul in an age when the contemplative approach to life is desperately needed as a corrective the addictive hyper-activism of many in the west in which many see but see little.
glad to be invited to attend Dorothy Livesay Festival…(PurdyFest #7) for this coming summer. but only have time to read Livesay’s books these two weeks and fell in love with her poetry and wrote two poems for her that I will read at the festival. I also translated them into Chinese. I hope more people read her works.
Yes. I love her book “The Self-Completing Tree” and will read more…
Thanks Indigo/Chapters’ supporting MARTY Awards winners and nominees! will be happy to do a book signing for my new book “Inhaling the Silence” in summer with poetry and music.

I watched the the TV movie about Jack Layton. Admired him and although sad to see him dying and singing his last song….but what an uplift experience, even witness on the TV…It just makes me revalue our lives, no matter short or long, the most important is with passion and live in each moment.
On April 15, award winning poet Anna Yin visited the school library as part of National Poetry Month celebrations. Anna read some of her haiku and concrete poems which were accompanied by the photographs that inspired them. Her multimedia presentation gave students the story behind the poems and provided insight into the writing process.
On a personal note, Anna shared her poet journey with the grade ten English and grade twelve Writer’s Craft students. Anna did not give up on her writing despite many challenges, and told the audience that her love of poetry has helped her experience more joy from life and made her appreciate small details. Thank you, Anna, for making poetry come alive at Libermann!
