One year ago, the homepage of f/k/a featured a few
poems from our favorite MIA, Yu Chang, who's been
spending far too much time lately preparing for class:
.
pumpkin patch –
this one is big enough
for my son
.
homecoming –
standing room only
in my office
.
quiet water
she joins me
in silence
.......................................... by Yu Chang, from Upstate Dim Sum (2005/I)
I apologize for taking up all of Yu's time, but it's his first visit to Toronto.
Now quit semi-plagiarizing and take your cough medicine. We can hear you hacking away over here.

I sure hope Yu will lend me that life jacket -- for when Kaurora Kolohevic tips over my kayak.
I signed up for MPJF, but all I got was this tee-shirt:

Good to see you make an appearance again, Yu. I like them all but especially the homecoming one...and, of course, the haiga. David who (ha!)?

Not sure that Yu knows how to write a faulty haiku.
Hope to see that life jacket in Maine next year!!!
