third, seventh, eighth and ninth stanza as they made the most impact overall. ‘外人’ and ‘我的中国小女儿’ had the fewest changes while for ‘Tell Me Something Good’ I need to make sure I don’t overdo it, not fall back on clichés for ‘Reality Check’ and specification and elaboration for ‘Salt. Swells. Undertows.’ In all honesty, the first four poems in my portfolio I found relatively easy to write, but ‘Salt. Swells. Undertows.’ and ‘Reality Check’ were more difficult to pen. It was written in a style I am…

I have experienced vast work situations and I have also been in positions of authority, yet, I have never felt like a leader. Before starting this course I believed that to be a leader is one who enjoys and thrives on office politics; I thoroughly lack this “quality.” To me, leadership sounded like an adjective for one who manipulates others to either do…
