poems published in an anthology


In June 2020, I submitted 2 poems for A Thousand Cranes: an anthology with APHN. I am pleased to announce that the 2 poems have been accepted for print publication.

The poems are :

1. days and days - a new poem specially written for the theme with recollections about the painful times my mother was in a hospital.

2. hearts - this is an old poem that has been published on this blog in 2014. It is about the pain (and courage) my first wife was suffering from fighting cancer.

The editors received over 800 entries from people all over the Asia Pacific region, in 11 different languages. This poetry anthology aims to increase awareness and appreciation for palliative care in the region.

I received a complimentary copy of the book through the mail on a July Saturday. Can't wait to read every page.

Notes : APHN is The Asia Pacific Hospice Palliative Care Network.

          The anthology has been retitled from A Thousand Cranes to To Let the Light In.

          All the 840 submissions are at the APHN website. You can read them HERE.
