"Departure" from "The Final Sentence"



I've just found out that the online literature magazine, The Final Sentence, has published my translation of Mu Dan's poem, "Departure":



In Feb. 2011 I submitted to the other online poetry journal Qarrtsiluni Mu Dan's two poems: "A Cold December Night" and "Departure."  It embraced and published the first


and declined the second with no explanation.  I assumed the reason to be its provocative voice, apparent absurdity, and lack of accessibility.  Therefore, once my submission of Lu Xun’s Revenge I was accepted and published by The Final Sentence


I decided to try it as a possible way to distribute the constructively disturbing message.   

It worked!
