LOVE AND SURVIVAL
Though not easy to find love
With endurance of the faraway spirit
I come close to finding you in my down time
So lucky and so fortunate
Your appearance is the Heavenly Glory

序／導讀
〈PREFACE〉
This book contains thirty seven poems, and one short film script for screenwriting class when I attended the Graduate School of Filmmaking and TV Production at NYU (written in October 1977, second year first semester), and three term papers for three different classes while I attended the Graduate School of Drama Department at NYU (written from 1975 to 1976 total three semesters).
The thirty seven poems were written from 2015 to 2017. All are about Love.
Let work speak for itself.
No Love, No Peace for human existence.
