A master painter paints striking images with deft strokes of a brush dipped in a palette of vivid colors. Feng Zhou paints entire scenes of striking images with deft keystrokes of a vivid vocabulary dipped in years of wisdom and life experience. The memories of this master poet are immortalized in his newest collection of poems, Be Yourself: A Poet’s Journey. Zhou’s recollection of his life journey combined with authoritative knowledge of Chinese history and culture make reading this collection an enjoyable and edifying experience.
A knowledgeable man on a variety of subjects, Zhou creates poetry that is at once both inspirational and educational. I have previously compared Zhou’s poetry to that of both William Carlos Williams and William Blake, and while those are still fair comparisons, it is evident that Zhou’s work is truly in a category all its own. It has been an honor and a privilege to edit this remarkable collection of poems, and I am confident you will enjoy them as much as I have.

Testament of My Regrets「BL」
The story of a painter who travelled through the vortex of time and space. The story of that painter and his beloved muse. This is the story of an infamous work of art and its woeful tale. Hung amidst those works of renowned artists lay a series of painting so heartfelt that the onlookers are brought to tears. The love that needed no words to describe for words might lack to speak of it. Yet the same series remained unfinished. The fire... The scream... The anguish that chilled one's heart... In the end it was all raised to ashes, yet the paintings lay intact. ... Maybe it was the painter's love that protected them or maybe it was the curse that lay behind it. Or perhaps, it was the testament of his resentment and the painter's regrets •••••••••• From Webnovel ©️3dollar_swaeg ••••••••• ★★★★★ Reverse transmigration Top!mc ★★★★★ FOR FUTURE UPDATES AND MORE CHAPTERS GO TO WEBNOVEL NAME: Testament of My RegretsComplete
THE RIVER-KEEPERS, A MAN AND A WOMAN WHO CAUGHT ON FIRE
A novella describes a possible transcendental life of spiritual ecology in the tradition of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha. A man and a woman do no more than find each other and set out to contrive a life together. But in this process, they come to live by an obscure river, and gradually open a luminous gateway into the very best of life. The natural events occurring in season after season and graceful provocations from the Old Boss, a river-keeper, kindle an awakening. The central protagonists-He and She-are presented without detailed characterization. Because of who they ultimately are, just as you and I, she and he might have a thousand true names--something akin to names such as "Bright Water" (Chosin*) or "Cloud Gate" (Yun Men**) or "True Emptiness" (Chan Kong***) or "Clear Mirror" (Kyong Ho****). Our view is so very small. Ordinary reality is an expression of a very real, extraordinary super-reality. Our true home is to be found in the landscape that designs us. *Japanese **Chinese ***Vietnamese ****Korean In a time of possible coming ecocide, The River Keepers is a novella that explores the grace that persists in wildness both within and without. Lance Kinseth has published creative nonfiction essays in literary magazines, and a book-length collection of essays. For "Homing," The North American Review, 272(4), Dec, 1987, pp. 10-19, Editor Robley Wilson wrote, "...a long and keenly observed essay on Nature, by Lance Kinseth. It has been a while since we were fortunate enough to print so sensitive a praise of River, of Earth, of Sun." For River Eternal: The Wonder of Common and Ashen Days Alongside a Prairie River. New York: Viking, 1989, Barry Lopez wrote, "In River Eternal, Lance Kinseth has built an elegant bridge between nature and culture. His vision is liberating, his ideas fresh, his language clean and beautiful. This is wondrous, invigorating, and humane work."Complete
