Atomic Heart

029 - Yes, I'm learning to eat poetry. While clicking around my favourite online literary journals, I was struck by 'Here is the Logic I Have Maintained in Observing My Home' by the Emilie Menzel, and decided to read it to you. Here's my place and you're free to write me: [email protected] | Wish you well, Atom C. 

028 - I've recently learned the word 'ekphrasis'. In the spirit of studying poetry, today I read you '13 ways of looking at a Blackbird' by Wallace Stevens. My place is here and you can also write me at [email protected] | Cheers, Atom C.

027 - How do I write in my native Cantonese and do I identify as an Asian-Canadian writer? 'Night Ferry' is a delicious piece by Phoebe Wang. Her poetry contains a healthy portion of lexical gems. I love her works. Anyways, here's my place. -Atom C.

026 - Breathe. I came across 'August in Waterton, Alberta' by Bill Holm while reading Annie Lamott's 'Bird by Bird'. Can I hear failure? I think I do. In the early mornings, awake and lying in bed with the windows slightly opened. Anyways, here's my place. To your own self be kind. -Atom C

023 - Where are you going? A question we ask ourselves the same way it was asked by A.A. Milne. Find me here. Be well.

022 - And so we visit Katherine Mansfield, my literary idol.

021 - Sherwood Anderson doesn't have the most garnished prose but his exploration of loneliness truly resonates.
