ABSTRACT
Feng Qing received a BA in history from the Chinese Cultural University in Taiwan. Her poetry is especially admired for her skillful use of imagery and rhythm. Critics have also praised her sensitivity to her experiences in life as well as her delicacy and the musical resonance in her lyrical expressions. Her first collection of poems, The Water Sounds of the Milky Way, was published in 1983. The shadow of the sun has paled in the deep shade, the woodpecker etches in dolence all over the ground. I start to arrange my hair a subtle perfume trickles through the thin dusk to gather around the scenes within an oil painting. I pick a few sprigs of water celery the red peppers before the Waking of the Insects two clouds embrace within difference then part without saying a word evening tide surges overlamps. Matters of this world are far less attractive than the bracelet on your wrist that's so radiantly beautiful.
