《二月玫瑰》，屢讀屢新，情痴如濃香中的紅花瓣，高㓗似冰輪灑滿清輝。無論是品酒之紅唇，還是純情之入夢，讀冰花的情詩，總令人沉醉！（白曼）

Every time reading the book Feburary Rose,
I always feel a new sense of freshness.
The strong affection as like fragrant red pedal, and the chilling untouchable integrity as like the clear moonlight. Whether with red lips to taste wine, or with pure feelings to make dreams, to read Bing Hua ‘s love poems would always let me be intoxicated.（Angel Baiman）

冰花女士的诗在华语诗人界久负盛名，非常受华语诗人们的热爱。
冰花女士写诗多年，其诗自成体系，有诗人称赞为冰花体。
冰花女士的诗，观之有一种特别拨动人心弦的韵味，让人读之为之心动。
这样的诗是生活的诗，是富有亲切感的，读来有一种身临其境之感，像是一位大姐姐般的熟悉的亲和力，像一位亲人在你耳边轻声慢语，娓娓道来。用另一种说法来说，就是让人有强烈的代入感，让人有强烈的沉浸感。
有强烈的东方韵味，有浓厚的东方色彩，在西方生活多年后，她仍能在作品中保留这种初心，是尤为值得称道的。

Congratulations to Ms. Bing Hua on the official publication of her new poetry collection "February ‘s Rose“
Ms. Bing Hua's poems are well known in the Chinese poet community and are very popular among Chinese poets.
Ms. Bing Hua has been writing poems for many years, and her poems have become a system of their own, which some poets have praised as the Bing Hua style.
Ms. Bing Hua's poems have a special rhythm that moves the heartstrings and makes people feel moved when they read them.
Such poems are the poems of life, rich in intimacy, read with a sense of immersion, like an older sister's familiar affinity, like a relative whispering in your ear, unfolding. To put it in another way, it gives people a strong sense of immersion.
There is a strong oriental flavor, a strong oriental color, and it is particularly commendable that after years of living in the West, she still manages to retain this originality in her work.

Reviewed by Michael Escoubas

The esteemed early 20th century novelist Willa Cather (1873-1947) once wrote:

“Many people seem to think that art is a luxury to be imported and tacked on to life. Art springs out of the very stuff that life is made of. Art must spring out of the fulness and richness of life.”

Although Cather was a novelist and Bing Hua a poet, I sense an affinity between them. Both understand the purpose of art. Both instill the idea that life and art cannot be separated. Both know love. Both know disappointment. Both know loss and the joy of recovering stronger and better in the face of loss.

February’s Rose, superbly translated by Yingcai Xu, portrays life with a strong sense of where people live. Intuitively, the poet captures the ironies of love. She does this in smooth, economical lines. With no end-line punctuation, readers enjoy close access to the poet’s mind and heart. She comes across as genuine and accessible. Her poems resonate with tensions of self-understanding; fears of what to do next, and joys triumphant in the human spirit.

Organized into seven sections, February’s Rose, combines seasonal themes with cor-responding seasons of the heart. The sections include: I. The Sunflower, II. February’s Rose, III. That Summer, IV. The Lotus’ Obsession, V. Never Invest in Love, VI. A Hand Fan, and VII. The Scarf of the Moonlight. Even the section titles evoke interest.

Notice the confluence of city, nature and love in this excerpt from “The Sound of Silence”:

          On the busy modern street
          Who runs to the spring of heart

          Bathing in the morning rays of materials
          And keeping off from the moonlight of sexual desire
          Loneliness
          Is the biting wind of winter

          Long black hair
          That drifts in the wind
          Lacerates the air

          When the sound of silence
          Wafts over from the distance
          Nobody can hear it
          That is the gurgling of a rill
          And the throbbing of a mountain

You won’t want to miss how the poet uses the sound of silence to create a memorable moment of love.

Love is Bing Hua’s overriding theme. She includes virtually every month and season of the year showing connections between the outer world of nature and the inner (and often invisible) world of human nature.

Bing Hua’s talent for personification is displayed in “The Amorous Knot of June”:

          Closer and closer, the blue sky
          Walks on white clouds into my heart

          In June’s garden
          Every night, new plants sprout
          Every morning, new flowers bloom

          June’s ocean
          Is a dream to embrace the blue sky
          Is a wing to heave splashes

          A white sail glides to the distance
          Lightly and evenly stretching out
          The colors of the blue sky and the ocean

          On the wind-touched riverbank
          Two coconut palms stand hand in hand
          But cannot tie the amorous knot

Here, the poet is in love with nature. She invokes a kind of emotional completion, which is satisfying to her contemplative heart. Never one to provide an easy answer to life’s challenges, “Two coconut palms stand hand in hand / But cannot tie the amorous knot.”

The poem “Spring” brings Emily Dickinson to mind:

          I wonder what type of fan spring uses
          That has fanned the grass green and flowers red
          I wonder what type of comb spring uses
          That has spruced up the gardens and streets

          I only see
          A fresh and bright rose in the garden
          Blooming in the most eye-catching place
          A wedding float in the street
          Coming from where birds come

          O, spring, you are so sweet and charming
          I want to be the bride of spring too

Love, for this poet, extends beyond human love. Bing Hua feels encircled by love. Possessed by the world’s beauty, and like Dickinson, her work is punctuated with wonder.

As with her section titles, her poem titles attract interest: “Come on Over,” “Why,” “My Longing for You Is Like Snow,” “Fish Begin to Chuckle,” “Teeth,” “Dust,” and “The Scarf of Moonlight,” to name but a few.

Throughout February’s Rose, Bing Hua’s poetry exhibits craftsmanship, maturity and clarity of purpose.

All of this is superbly illustrated in “If I Were Wind”:

          If I were wind
          I would fly and fly
          Till I alight on his shoulders
          If I were wind
          I would blow and blow
          To blow my love into his heart

Yes, Willa Cather would be proud; because, like Cather, Bing Hua’s art springs from the fulness and richness of life.

“February Rose” by Bing Hua is a volume of 100 poems packed with poetic niceties. An accountant by profession, the poet is able to wordsmith her feminine melodies most economically weaving many beautiful imageries (for example, p. 17, 70) into a picturesque mosaic. I am also deeply impressed by her obsession with verbal accuracy — “Once I have the word / It costs my whole life” (p. 46)
The volume was loaned to me by John Shi, the “King of Kitchen” in his friend’s commendation. Grateful for the feast of artistic enjoyment, I decided to obtain a copy for myself through Amazon.

Bing Hua's poems are romantic, emotional, concise, and creative with ethereal beauty.

Some poems warm your heart, like "Spring", it builds a vivid image of spring, along with its attractive personality.

Bing Hua is one of my favorite Chinese poets. Her poetry is simple yet rich—simple to invite readers to read, yet rich in feelings and images. A good example is the poem "A Hand Fan:" “One side is spring, the other autumn.” Another good one is "Your Leaves and My Water:" “Your leaves / Have fallen into my yard / My water / Has wetted your lawn.” These words draw readers in and explore new realm of experiences. Bing Hua also has a magic way to express love through different seasons. She puts just enough ingredients to make her lines “taste” and “smell” good. Mr. Xu did a very good job to catch the 100 poems’ essences and styles in his translation. I highly recommend this book especially in this season. Buy and smell the aroma of this February’s Rose!

In all simple words, the author magically put all things alive: a breeze of wind, a stream of water, a stem of rose, and I am in it experiencing the joy, the pain, the struggle of love and the longing and dreaming for love. Bing Hua has truly mastered the arts of story telling in poetry.
