I’ve recently begun reading a collection of China’s best science fiction from the year 2002. I am very excited to be started reading this sort of book in Chinese, and am hoping to push myself to do more reading of this kind very soon. I’ve finished one longish story by He Xi, and enjoyed it moderately well. I don’t think I’ll finish the whole anthology before I have to return it to my teacher, but I am still enjoying it while I can. I’m writing about this some at my science fiction related blog, if you would like to read more about my experiences as I read. I can’t say I have anything insightful to share yet, but I am making a start.
Good news — I am the featured poet for this issue (Nov 2008) of Scifaikuest! I am very pleased about this, as Scifaikuest is one of the best poetry magazines around. If you’d like to have a look, you can visit the Scifaikuest website. You’ll find a link there to order the print magazine, which is where you will find 15 of my poems in the Nov 2008 issue. Also, if you’d like more updates about what is going on in the world of speculative poetry, you can see my regular update on my main blog.
