157 - This is it. About to check out of my place on Paterson Street. Whatever’s next is left in the open. Today I read my own stuff and a piece by someone I really admire. The soundtrack (https://mixcloud.com/AtomAlicia) is longer because I’m not as brisk as I pretend to be.
On Sunday June 14th, 3pm (https://www.instagram.com/kubrickpoetry/) at Broadway Cinametheque, I'll be sharing poems in an intimate event moderated by my friend Polly. Not sure if I can recap my last 17 years living in Hong Kong but for sure I'll be reading poems written in the past month. I hope to see you there.
My first full-length collection of poetry, Forty-One Frames, comes out in September with the Hong Kong publisher 石磬文化 Musical Stone (https://www.instagram.com/voice_and_verse/). I'll have to fly back for the book launch. I don't think I can ever leave here completely.

You could've paid more for more but you didn't
156 - Define home. Say, your current one. How does it match with the way you intend to live? How does it respond to the new ways you intend to live? And if you had to leave it, say, in two weeks, how difficult would it be, or not at all? June 14. No book launch. No farewell. Just poems. Pieces of home to be housed in books yet to be birthed. Stay tuned to Kubrick Poetry (https://www.instagram.com/kubrickpoetry/) for details and updates. I would love to see you there.
Soundtrack can be accessed via Mixcloud (https://www.mixcloud.com/AtomicHeart)

You confess your fetish for the public housing block
155 - This home stretch, on a personal level, is incredible. But I suppress it by walking slow, hugging the side of the pavement while fellow pedestrians pass me by. A crispy breeze even in May is priceless. Today I read my own stuff. A new set of prose poems on the notion of home plus something from my forthcoming poetry collection Forty-One Frames to be published by Musical Stone. A solid piece of validation I can run with. The soundtrack, a discovery from my early days of returning to Hong Kong in 2009, is accessible via Mixcloud (https://www.mixcloud.com/AtomicHeart)
