100,000
One hundred thousand hits in 8 years
in several blogs
is not all that much,
but it’s all poetry.
Yes, there are books
and poems and stuff
in papers and magazines.
New York Review of Books,
NZZ, FAZ.
But nobody knows me
without Chinese poetry
and poetry from Taiwan.
I like it this way,
although over nine years now
I’ve been writing in Europe.
I come from Vienna,
I write about Austria
which also means history
all over Europe and other places.
But I’m a translator,
all kinds of stuff from Chinese,
not just poetry.
And I’ve been a stay-at-home father.
Thank you!
