A beautiful New York Times feature of Wang Ping, HL author of My Name is Immigrant.
Excerpted from the article:
Wang Ping is a poet by profession and a rower by routine.

“Every blade entering the water is different, because the water keeps moving,” she said.
Each moment is different from the last. And the next.
“That’s the beauty of living, isn’t it?” she said. Everyone calls her Ping.
