The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experiences. –Emily Dickinson
Thank Epoch Poetry Quarterly (Taiwan) for including my translations of three Canadian poets: Liz Howard, Don Gutteridge, Armand Garnet Ruffo. Thank Mark Ulyseas for showcasing my four new poems: Listening to Leonard Cohen.
My new project: Creating a reflective film to foster cultural values / Project that fuses poetry and public art in a collaborative film will team with Roy Marques, Sarah Hei and other artists/participants. I thank MAC, AGM, Triple J Canada, Kaideed Education and other sponsors!
This project will start in June teamed up with a core film team and plan to finish in Oct, 2023. During our filming process, we will involve and invite the public to join us with activities to enrich connections with our city and our communities to further understand the role of public art in the history and cultural development of Mississauga. Currently we have received wonderful supports from local artists and sponsors (my last year’s sponsors want to continue their sponsorship).
It is a small low budge project. If any of you or your company would like to be involved with this project or sponsor it. Please feel free to contact me. I am sure we all could learn and have fun together. #project #film #publicart #sponsor
Also I want to mention last year my haiku project “Here and Now, Discover Mississauga and More” won a micro grant from Mississauga Arts Council (MAC) and selected to be a 2022 successful story by MAC. Thank all participants and sponsors! Cheers!
After more poems by Don with my translations were published in Epoch Poetry Quarterly, New World Poetry etc, we now have a full book of poems and translations! The book will be available in June!
