Today, read “Blooming, Bloomed, Withered,” Gene Png’s translation of a Lee Wonha poem. According to Gene, “The poet once confessed she never felt an affinity with nature until she moved to Jeju seeking respite from an unrequited love.” (@robinbythedoor)

Thanks so much to @PandanWeekly @stephwritescnf, and @longleafreview for first publishing this flash 2 years ago!

Still one of my faves 💗

[Pandan Weekly @PandanWeekly]

This week, read Andy Lopez’s flash fiction piece “Boba Talk.” It plays into the words for “milk tea” and an insult in her mother tongue “to exacerbate the vast divide language can create, in sometimes invisible, hurtful ways.” (@andylopezwrites)

This week, read “The Call of Cadiz,” a historical fiction piece about war, liberty, and madness. Set in the Philippine Isles in the early 1800s, the short story is a treat to fans of history, revolution, and anti-imperialism.
