I am thrilled to share that my poem, “Antarctica Wedding,” has been published on the Silk Road Poetry Blog. This platform is known for its mission to bridge cultural gaps and promote global poetry exchange, much like the ancient Silk Road once connected distant lands through trade.The poem is especially meaningful to me as it was inspired by my own wedding in Blind Bay, Antarctica, on Christmas Eve 2022. The stark beauty of Antarctica, the profound silence, and the sheer uniqueness of the setting made our celebration unforgettable and deeply symbolic. This poem captures the essence of that magical day, and I am honored to have it featured in such a respected anthology.To make this occasion even more special, I’m including some personal photos from our wedding and the breathtaking Antarctic scenery that inspired the poem. Here’s a sneak peek of the icy wonderland where we exchanged our vows, surrounded by the serene expanse of snow and sky.

Thank you for joining me in celebrating this milestone in my literary career. It is a true honor to share a piece of our personal history through poetry, connecting with readers and cultures across the globe.
