Two Shades of Regret

By Carrie Chang

Two Shades of Regret is a sine qua non of Sino-thrill poems which border on the evanescent and the tripnotic hem of the roseate lyric, lovely paeans of blooming immortality as seen on the paintings of a Ming vase. These new eclectic poems, lush and ghostly, of hyacinth and radical etiology, draw from the ecosphere of flora and fauna, are pictos of the efflorescent flamage and its celestial Chinese ethos. Rich with tingling sensate of zen splurge, and chimeric value, they blend the soul force of rampant color with the self-styled mimicry of the blurred past.
