Hey, folks,

Up today, the Fourth Anniversary issue of Asian Cha, containing my Silk Road, which was workshopped here on the deep end. Thanks to all who commented.

Also in this issue, David Landrum, Bernard Henrie, DeWitt Clinton, Nicholas Y.B. Wong, and many more. Fiction by Shivani Sivagurunathan and Genevieve Yim, among others, art by Roger Camp, an essay on Listening Outloud by Jeff Zroback. Tammy Ho Lai-Ming edits.
Thanks,

Bill

That is a very nice venue, Bill et al.

I remember this poem, I think, wasn't there a photo of a dancer with it while you were workshopping it? Or after? The performer for whom (about whom) you wrote the poem?

My brain thinks there was, anyway, but my brain knows that you have achieved an excellent poem-and-venue match. Congratulatiosn!

Janice,

Yes, here she is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyyYh-APT6c

Elegance and grace embodied. Would that I could write a poem the way she danced!

They say Asia is taking over the West. I say WF Lantry is taking over Asia.
Kudos, Bill!
