I did not know we had a Poet Laureate for parliament. The position requires that he person write poetry for parliament and I guess other stuff. In any case congratulations to Fred Wah for being chosen. He is likely the first Asian Canadian to occupy the post. I believe he is also mixed.

G.Na – I’ll back off so you can live better

Here G.Na performed an English version of one of her Korean songs at the last Kollaboration show. Pretty impressive that she wrote the English lyrics herself although not knowing the meaning of the original version, I don’t know how closely the meanings of the English & Korean lyrics match but the English lyrics do seem to match the music just as well.
