Flickering Flame: Poetic Echoes presents a collection of poetry
written by a doctor on the verge of retirement. Writing under the
pen name Wonky Wizard, he divides his work into several sections,
including musings, relationship, social and political topics, and
children. He also provides four translations of Chinese classical
poems into English. Most of his original works-personal musings on
life and family-were written over the course of a year, between
consultations at his clinic. He wrote in response to his friends'
comments and clients' problems and to consider family events,
revealing his honest thoughts and feelings on these and other
topics. From an examination of his feelings about death and dying
in "Bucket List" and "Farewell to a Friend" to his feelings about
children in "Sharing" and "Why," he offers his perspective on a
wide range of subjects. Writing to evoke interest in English among
students in Malaysia, to connect with other poets, and to offer a
gift to his daughter and grandchildren, the poet turns to the
universality of poetry-the shared pool of emotions from which it is
drawn-to help us see echoes of ourselves in other narratives. And
now he invites you to be a spectator of his journey.
