The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experiences. –Emily Dickinson
Anna Yin’s poetry and books
This Thanksgiving day I want to thank my family, publishers and friends, especially my sponsors for Poetry and Music project. Although I has completed this project, I will continue to write more lyrics. Thanks. Nova Marketing Group, Triple J Canada, Sureway Press, poets Katherine L. Gordon and D.C. Reid and Mississauga Arts Council.
I also wrote this lyrics to remember Jane Goodall.
how wonderful to read Renée M. Sgroi‘s review of my book, amazing to find another fine poet sees what I cannot see. She selected several poems echoing the ones liked by Dana Gioia. Blanks was accepted by Literary Review of Canada and The Rare Abalone was inspired by current US poet laureate Arthur Sze.
Another of my translations of Yan Li’s work has been showcased for National Translation Month
(my other translations of his work have appeared in Queen’s Quarterly Denver Quarterly @Modern Poetry in Translation, Live Encounters Poetry & Writing Cha: An Asian Literary Journal etc My thanks to the wonderful magazines and editors who made this possible!)
Thanks Waves (生活潮）for publishing my poem: 虚构, it is in prints in Taiwan
I created this video, Peace and Harmony through Poetry and Music – Highlights & Summary, to mark the completion of the project. Yet the journey continues—I will keep exploring what I’ve learned, from songwriting to (hopefully) better singing. Heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors for making this possible: Nova Marketing Group, Triple J Canada, Sureway Press, poets Katherine L. Gordon and D.C. Reid, and above all, the Mississauga Arts Council with RAMA Gaming Centre through the Mississauga Charitable Gaming Association. #poetry #music #projects #peace #harmony
