lnhammer: the Chinese character for poetry, red on white background (Default)
    Mesquite silhouette.
Scattered gray clouds are silvered
    by the high half-moon.
Below them, in the deep south,
a single lick of lightning.

About

Warning: contents contain line-breaks.

As language practice, I like to translate poetry. My current project is Chinese, with practice focused on Tang Dynasty poetry. Previously this was classical Japanese, most recently working through the Kokinshu anthology (archived here). Suggestions, corrections, and questions always welcome.

There's also original pomes in the journal archives.
