So I ask that maybe you use your brain and realize that I bring my whole self to my romance novels, and so do other authors, and so belittling the genre by saying that romance books are “just romance” and “even twilight is not just romance” is just wildly ignorant.

i'm sorry people are being so ridiculous and ignorant. i'm asexual and aromantic myself and i still enjoy romance novels, for the romance and many other things... i don't know why romance gets so much hate as a genre

okay you were still listed before i blocked her. Xiran Jay Zhao and Sonia Sulaiman were both talking this more about being harassed on twitter and now i'm getting targeted to (i had blocked them on there already). this person is such a stalker, wow

i don't know, hopefully it does!

The extreme irony of a publication that tried to censor the word "genocide" putting out an issue of translated poetry about Gaza. I'm glad I got half of my settlement back and donated the money to a Palestinian publisher after they tried to cut me out of my project.

I'd tag them but I am still trying to recover from three months of health problems that got triggered because of my experience dealing with them...

I'm really touched by this super in-depth and thoughtful review of The Lantern and the Night Moths. I love how LJ really hones in on one of my core intentions with the book -- the translation and preservation of the ephemeral and easily-forgotten. exchanges.uiowa.edu/reviews/the-...

Thank you! Yeah especially as a translator, I often find my work is really under-appreciated, and I definitely run into many discouraging barriers, so it's really nice to have positive feedback and encouragement for a change.

Yesterday was the anniversary of Qiu Jin's death. Please take a moment to join me in honoring her memory. Also, check out The Lantern and the Night Moths for some of my translations of her poetry and my essay on translating her work! invisiblepublishing.com/product/the-...

The Lantern and the Night Moths · Invisible Publishinginvisiblepublishing.com Chinese Canadian poet-translator Yilin Wang has selected and translated poems by five of China’s most innovative modern and contemporary poets: Fei Ming, Qiu Jin, Zhang Qiaohui, Xiao Xi, and Dai Wangs...

For folks who have read the book already, I have been busy working on more translations, so I will definitely have more translations to share eventually. :)
