    From stranger to more than

    145 - On the verge of leaving a dream job to interview for a dream job that isn't so much a dream anynore but an 'I owe it to myself'. But this isn't about that. Not when those you dine with turn out to be part of the establishment.

    Avenues that pop up whenever they stall at a crowded intersection

    144 - On handwriting and crushes, and the presense of a song that tells me I ought to look far and away and outside of myself.

    Often boiling with I know

    143 - It's been cold. I went out in my thickest coat and was still shivering. Today I bring you a piece I wrote just before Christmas, plus a poem by John Ashbery. People are still trying to figure him out.

    Things that are here versus things that aren't

    142 - Just so I don't fall through a well to end the year. Here I'd like to share two prose poems, one of which I wrote very recently as part of a book manuscript I'm working on. I'll continue to use this platform to process my creative struggles in the coming year. Thank you for listening.

    People here still ask me where I'm from

    139 - Straight to you from the studio of 105.9 The Region broadcasting from Toronto, Canada. Cheers to poetry from Chinese-Canadian poets Isabella Wang and Natalie Lim.

    No witness but your quiet vow to begin

    138 - Pre-flight and other postponements. From my tiny room I bring you a quartet of Hong Kong poets with a mix of works in English and Canto. Three of them have a Canadian connection. Florence Ng and Nicole Lam are my fellow contributors to ⁠⁠⁠Canto Cutie Vol. 9⁠⁠⁠. HK-Canadian poet 不清 presented his poetry at a recent concert (which I had to miss). HK storyteller 雄仔叔叔 once again reminded me to stay true to myself and to my work. Check out his new book.
