062 - The quarantine episode. The self-isolating writer submitting to an online journal for the first time and reading you his submitted piece. This is Atom Alicia C. You can check out my website www.atomicheart.fm or write to 💌 [email protected]. I don't want to leave home.

061 - Seeking solace in a world about to explode. I bring you the poem "Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower" by Rainer Maria Rilke. I'm Atom Alicia C. Check out AtomicHeart.fm for my latest projects. You can also write to [email protected]. Hope to share with you some of my own writing next time. 

060 - Amidst the mid-February gloom, I bring you a wintry prose poem by the Canadian writer Anne Carson, a piece inspired by Hegel. As for me, I'm still exploring as to how I can best present myself to you on this platform. Hopefully next time I can read you a bit of my own writing. I'm  I'm Atom Alicia C.

059 - Atomic Heart returns with a prose poetry piece I had written on my birthday. My plan for 2022 is to write a book of prose poems. I've been obsessed with the kinds of possibilty that this art form promises. The program has taken on a new look. New music, new graphics, the same voice behind the mic. I'm Atom Alicia C.

058 - Do you recall the moment you first felt a genuine sense of affirmation as an artist? Do you recall the experience of finally being seen? I speak to you with a heavy heart on the day the non-profit news outlet Stand News was forced to shut down following a raid by police - another blow to press freedom in Hong Kong, another indication of an insecured government. Another batch of the Tat Ming fanzine '89 09 12 21' is in the process of being printed. You can send an email to [email protected] if you want to respond to my question up top. 

057 - Some success and serendipity for me at this year's Hong Kong Art Book Fair. I keep Ithaka always in my mind. Such is the mood. Find me on my website.

056 - Are you being seen they way you want to be seen? What about in your childhood, and from those supposedly closest to you? If being seen is important, how are you making it happen? Today I read from my upcoming book 'I Know I'll Never'. Find me on my website. Bliss. 

055 - A metaphor that describes the blissed-out writer who's come of age, plus a sharing that should have happened but didn't. I didn't realize I had so much to say. Not only that, I also read from 'Fragments from a Revisit of Stories Unfinished', a book I published in 2019 and have been meaning to rewrite. I'm here on my website. Bliss. 

054 - I've been so preoccupied with my three ongoing book projects so I figured I'd tell you a bit about them here. They are tentatively titled '89 09 12 20', 'Forty-One Frames' and 'I Know I'll Never'. An excerpt from 'I Know I'll Never' has been selected for publication in Volume 4 of Canto Cutie. Pre-order your copy here. Meanwhile, the 'Incarnation' photography exhibition featuring my prose poems is still on until the end of November. Do check it out. Find me on my website. Cheers.
