February Rose——Weaving many beautiful imageries by Ming Sun Poon in USA
“February Rose” by Bing Hua is a volume of 100 poems packed with poetic niceties. An accountant by profession, the poet is able to wordsmith her feminine melodies most economically weaving many beautiful imageries (for example, p. 17, 70) into a picturesque mosaic. I am also deeply impressed by her obsession with verbal accuracy -- "Once I have the word / It costs my whole life" (p. 46) The volume was loaned to me by John Shi, the "King of Kitchen" in his friend's commendation. Grateful for the feast of artistic enjoyment, I decided to obtain a copy for myself through Amazon.
