Anthology

Afterward

This anthology in English and another one in both Chinese and English were finished in November 2000, I made some printed copies with my HP DeskJet 500 and with my hands put them together to form five tiny books for each. For a long times I could not find a publisher that would print books in two languages, hence I put them aside. Until spring of this year, I found through the Internet a Canadian publisher Trafford, which would be able to do the job for me. However I have to do the preparations such as typing, editing, print or hard copy etc. (if text software would not be compatible with what the publisher uses, Trafford will use scan technique to make it work.) I did find another better font of characters in Microsoft Works recently and I decided to re-type my English poems with this new font. By the way, I have added a few of my new poems in this new edition. It took me a few months to finish the job ( actually most the time was spent for the cover design.)

After my task had been fulfilled _ To write poems in Chinese and English with the same topic, this anthology should be given high priority to be published, However later I changed my mind to publish Anthology in English first instead. I hope this small book will attain some recognition from my future English readers and before long I'll get my Anthology written in both Chinese and English be published for another group of readers, most of them are living in the other side of the world.
