So glad that my poem: Picking up a Dandelion was selected for Poetry In Voice anthology. Thank you Sarah Tsiang for selecting it. Please check the interview on Poetry in Voice…. I also want to thank #CBC Radio and Lorna Crozier for that poem… Once I listened to CBC radio to an interview of Lorna Crozier about her poems: Sex Lives of Vegetables, I was blown away…I wanted to challenge myself to write like that. So I wrote “Picking Up a Dandelion”, which is a poem that could be read both erotically and spiritually. I also translated it into Chinese.
We had two great online poetry alive workshops in March
Thank you all. These two workshops are fully booked.
Here are poems I discussed on March 20, 2021, please feel free to read them .
