We Be Cultural-We Not Political
In attempt to tie together loose ends, I'll be including Chinese Poems in English in forthcoming podcasts.I'll also include text in blog. I originally took a Chinese Poetry class at the University of Arizona
It was because of this that I got the crazy idea, that if I learned Chinese that perhaps one day I'd be able to read the Chinese poetry in Chinese, and not lose anything in translation. So here I am 26 years later, the last 18 of which I've been living in Taiwan.
Haven't tried to read the things in Chinese, been to busy. Maybe that will be one of the things I do when I retire-till then, need to make more hay while the sun's shining.
