Most were written in 2012 and 2013. I'd like to dedicate these poems to Sunheart, however, a friend and a main anthropological informant in my first book, \"Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality \u0026amp; Virtual Harbin\" (2016) who passed away this autumn 2020. In the poem \"She Dappled Sun\" here, I seek to bring Sunheart a birthday torte, place one on his doorstep in the Harbin village, only to find out later that he's traveling far, far away. I'd like also to bring him alive again - with artificial intelligence and machine learning into avatar bot form - so that we might interact conversationally again, at first; see this December 18, 2020 UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' talk in these regards - https: \/\/scott-macleod.blogspot.com\/2020\/12\/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html - for both video and slides. I'd like to articulate Sunheart's Harbin knowledge and memories in digital form, and interactively, so that you or I might again talk and interact with him, as a first example of what might be possible in these regards (http: \/\/scott-macleod.blogspot.com\/2020\/12\/gorse-sunheart-heartsong-at-harbin-hot.html?m=0).Inherent in this Harbin poetry project, as well as in my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, with its poetry, is creating a realistic virtual Harbin with realistic avatar bots.
