Autobiographic Verses - mauriceling/mauriceling.github.io GitHub Wiki

“Can there be anything that we write that is strictly non-autobiographic?” is the question I asked myself. Almost every-thing that we write will draw upon personal experiences; thus, all writings can be autobiographic in the broadest sense. Cao Xue Qin draws upon his family history in Dream of the Red Mansion, where his grandfather, Cao Yin, was the playmate of Emperor Kang Xi whom then promoted him to Commissioner of Textiles and Silk.

I want to continue my autobiographic journey after the completion of my first themed autobiography describing my six years of undergraduate and graduate studies in Melbourne. However, it is a daunting task and I had struggled for a long while with regards to which format to use.

Not a skillful writer of prose and narratives, I have always like poetic style for its directness, conciseness, and perhaps even, obfuscation to some extend. Why not use it to compile my autobiography then? This is the result.

Treat this as a compilation of poems I penned if you will for I am not interested to put things in chronological order but as a reflection – penning events and feelings as they come to mind. At the end of the day, it will be the reader’s job to piece all these anecdotal events and feeling together.

The only aspect of my life that I will not focused on is the six years I had in Melbourne when I pursued my undergraduate and graduate studies. That stage of my life is so important and yet focused and concise to me that it is a separate autobiography on its own: Ling, MHT. 2013. Six Years of Melbourne: July 2002 to April 2008.
