So honoured to be Featured Poet for the 1st time, at the annual @gunghaggis.bsky.social Banquet celebrating Chinese New Year & Robbie Burns Day! ✨🧧❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ I read a poem by Robert Burns & my Chinese New Year poem “Golden” from @pulpliterature.bsky.social, and ate haggis wonton & haggis lettuce wrap! 🎉🎉🎉

This is 6 years ago! Great to sit with arts community friends Joyce Lam and Barb Lee, founders of VACT and VAFF, and also featured in the book Celebration: Chinese Canadian Legacies in British Columbia. We sat at table with Parliamentary Secretary Bowin Ma MLA for North Vancouver.

So honoured to read at a Robbie Burns Day celebration for the 1st time, between bagpipe segments! ✨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ I read the poem “My Heart’s in the Highlands” during my 1st visit to the Robert Burns Memorial statue, wearing the Harris Tweed hat I got while hubby & I visited Scotland to explore his heritage!
