All Comments on 'This is a cultural exchange'

What a fantastic way to describe Oriental racial characteristics. Very clean and really gripping imagery. Thanks for this one.

Especially like this with its revisions to the earlier work, <i>to the ancient connection</i>; breaking it up the way you do here seems to give it more impact.

I had no idea Champ was a racist, mysterious enough, so what did the fortune cookie say?

A racist is such a negative insinuation here... I'd like to know what this imagery calls up for you, honest and straight up, when you read this poem 1201. At least I admitted what was conjoured in my mind, with words like dynasty, ming and slants opening the poem, what did you think?

I was wondering the same. Did not care for the insinuation, could not find inherent poetic justification and the cultural conotation is as strong as the "N" word. So what is the point? Shock value?
