Kathy Song: "Stamp Collecting"
This week we’ve dug up a fine poem, Kathy Song’s “Stamp Collecting.” This poem dates back to 1989, TMR issue 12.1. Song was born and raised in Hawaii, and after traveling and studying extensively abroad, resides there again. She is the award-winning author of several collections of poetry, including her first, Picture Bride, which won the 1982 Yale Younger Prize, and the Buddhism-informed Cloud Moving Hands (2007).
