Warm congratulations to Louise Liu on her new book—grateful to have mentored her!

Thanks to the mentoring program of the Writers’ Union of Canada, I mentored Louise Liu in poetry translation last year. She found the process very helpful and asked me to continue guiding her new poetry translation manuscript. Yesterday, I was glad to receive the completed book, and I’m sharing a few pages here. Congratulations!

Victoria, the Poetry Garden

I had a wonderful trip to Victoria. I was interviewed by the multi-talented Kyeren Regehr for her Poet Laureate Podcast, and read for the renowned Planet Earth Poetry Reading Series alongside Phoebe Wang and rob mclennan at Russell Books.

I also met many wonderful poets, visited DC Reid’s home, and enjoyed dinner at Lorna Crozier’s beautiful place. So many good memories and wonderful photos. I even wrote a new poem, and was delighted that Charlie Smith shared it on both Pancouver and TorontoSpark.
