A polite note of warning to those rushing off to the China: Bookworm International Literary Festival. Jacket magazine has been banned in China for a decade. If you're discussing poetry in public or in private, it might be best not to bring up Jacket as a topic: something harmless like macrame, gardening or finger-painting would be a safer choice.
Oh, and don't admit you have HIV/AIDS if you have HIV/AIDS; Australian writer Robert Dessaix was denied a visa last week after he had admitted on his visa applicaiton form that he had HIV/AIDS.
Yours democratically,
