Sorry, JD
I should have done the promoting for you-
In addition to JD's poem, y'all may want to take a look at Huang Xiang's
poetry(and yeah- the alphabet is different, got a pdf to see the originals).
And there's a link to his bio, which- well, the last 50 years in China, you
can imagine.
There's also a challenge for the autumn issue- responses to Susan Rich's
poem Tuareg Tea Ceremony. (It seems that writers are thinking we only want
suffering and war poems- we don't- our guest writers supply us with more
than enough of those).
www.icorn.org (we haven't got our logo up yet- my designer has his hands
full at the moment).

"The writing of a poem is like throwing a child into a mineshaft." And then
waiting for the reverberation.
