- Barry Spurr, Australia's first Professor of Poetry, Literary editor, Quadrant magazine
The passion of emotion flows as love transcends nature and death. Changming finds the words that bind lovers for eternity.
- Patricia Ann Mayorga, Editor-in-Chief , Poets' Espresso Review
In this precious collection of love poems, feeling flows off the pages into the reader’s heart. There is so much feeling of love, it swallows the reader and he/she gasps for breath. The feeling lingers long after the reading. It stays to become a memory of how this work affects one on into the next day, week, year, the rest of one’s life. One must read it to experience the totality of love. Recommended for all readers, young adult and beyond.

Yuan's newest book ALL MY CROWS just released

 Yuan's newest book ALL MY CROWS just released

As Yuan Changming's 12th solo poetry collection,  All My Crows has just been released by Cold River Press.

Available at https://www.coldriverpress.com/. 

In this chapbook, the poetry writer employs a typical Chinese perspective to feel about, look at and muse over the crow, a readily observable creature in every corner of the world that is among the most intelligent, most difficult to identify individually, and most mystic as a dark prophet. While one might recall Ted Hughes's Crow: from the life and Songs of the Crow, Yuan's work is actually an uninformed emulation rather than an intended echo of the English poet's "masterpiece" as Hughes himself has called his. 

Critisims are always welcome and appreciated!
