Cathy Xinman: Timid Leaves
“Timid Leaves” is a poem that uses leaves and birds as symbols of the fragility of life.

“Timid Leaves” is a poem that uses leaves and birds as symbols of the fragility of life.

The poem is marked by a strong contemporary consciousness, technological reflection, and an absurdist spirit.

Xinman’s poem reflects on humanity’s relationship with technology, climate, and the evolving meaning of what it means to be human.

Set against Canada’s rise in world soccer, Xinman’s poem situates the game within a broader cultural threshold.

National Indigenous Peoples Day, Father’s Day, and a World Cup match day in Vancouver occur on June 21. “Sound” is a poet’s response.

“Love Prepared for the Rain” is a poem that reflects on how beauty and suffering often arrive intertwined.

In this poem, summer becomes a symbol of youth itself: bright, restless, and already moving toward the future.

In this poem, storms, leaves, and the changing seasons are not merely landscapes of nature, but metaphors for a mother’s life.

We would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). With this acknowledgement, we thank the Indigenous peoples who still live on and care for this land.
