The poet they probably shouldn’t have sent. I watch anime and am sometimes accused of reading books. I'm writing a long gay giant robot story in verse—probably this millennium's best yuri mecha epic poem, through lack of competition.


'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country’s countless bells.'

my project for this summer is to record myself doing readings (in English and Chinese) of my classical chinese poetry translations

i've got a soundcloud set up (direct RSS feed here), episodes are gonna release every Friday and are usually pretty short (2-8 minutes long, let's say)

here's the first episode:

when the magpies draw the star bridge
only then can you meet each year
your loss and longing must be bottomless

dear cowherd, dear weaver
are you still waiting on either side?
just now there was sun
no, it was rain
no, wind
