POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Note: Based on the principles of progression and association employed in Japanese court poetry (for more information, see 'To the Lighthouse: Principles of Progression and Association in Tanka Sequences, ' http: //goo.gl/4a1nb) , Politics/Poetics of Re-Homing is the first English language tanka sequence about diasporic experiences. In the sequence, I adopt an intersectional approach to exploring a wide range of issues related to immigration, English learning, racialized identity, racism, job seeking, colonization, acculturation,...etc. You can read the whole sequence, http: //goo.gl/m9R9V

Flawless concept to this, really powerful, I admire your ability to transcend barriers in all I have read of you. Dating somebody from Taiwan who is still working on her English, I can relate to immigration to Canada, while myself living many years in India, culture shock is something very familiar to me. You are extremely talented.
