1. got 15 acceptances in march, and 17 in april from literary outlets, including trinity review, the font, quadrant, foreign, silhoutte, ngy review and streetcake. first time to appear in a korea-based journal.
2. i seldom feel like writing occasional pieces, but because of the pandemic, i have written nearly 10 poems about covid-19, probably because wuhan, where the pandemic 'first' started in this world, happens to be my late father's birthplace, while hubei province is my native province. lukily, most of the poems have been accepted or published already.
3. my poet friend Koon Woon agrees to publish my first and last chinese book when i finish it. so far i have written nearly 400 mini-essays on my people and my culture. since 2013, i have posted one piece every week quite regularly on my chinese blogsite at http://blog.creaders.net/uindex.php . tentatively titled 'chinese concerns'(忧中华）, the book is very very important for me.
4. two days from today, will release the first annual edition of Poetry Pacific. instead of putting it on hiatus, i have decided to switch it into a yearly publication, mainly because of my weakening vision or suffering eyes - all my life, i have had only one eye functioning, and that's why my eye is doubly abused than in a normal case. anyway, i will keep the e.zine running as long as my working eye still allows me to see...
