That's not a quote about my book. It's Jim Harrison using a Whitman line to talk about Larry McMurtry's All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers. But good writers did say good things about my book. See for yourself? Happy Friday, y'all. a.co/d/0ccRKCTg

The mid-autumn festival is this week, so it’s the perfect time to get a copy of my mini-chapbook, full of tiny poems inspired by Chinese folklore www.tinywrenlit.com/product-page...

Cover of chapbook The Moon, My Heart
poems by Elena Zhang, the cover is the moon with pink blossoms in the foreground

The Moon, My Heart
In this story, Chang'e opens her mouth and I eat the egg inside.
Yolk sun in white moon.
I finally understand what Teresa Teng meant when she sang the moon represents my heart.
She meant immortal mothers and birthday gifts, and the starlit waning of time.

Mary Oliver ♥️ “It has saved my life to know this.”

LONELINESS

I too have known loneliness.
I too have known what it is to feel
misunderstood,
rejected, and suddenly
not at all beautiful.
Oh, mother earth,
your comfort is great, your arms never withhold.
It has saved my life to know this.
Your rivers flowing, your roses opening in the morning.
Oh, motions of tenderness!
