Yu Guangzhong 余光中, the great poet of the Chinese diaspora who spent most of his life in Taiwan, passed away six years ago today. Here is his best known work (somewhat to his chagrin) - “Nostalgia” 鄉愁 - a small poem of longing, in his own handwriting, alongside my quick translation. #everynightapoem

Very moving.

Really good!

I was pondering your choice of “nostalgia” versus something more literal like “homesickness” but there really isn’t a term that captures that kind of poignant feeling, I like that you chose nostalgia

That’s great.
