This article engages critical autoethnography and prose poetic inquiry to chronicle my crossing of geographical and educational borders in Singapore, Shanghai and Melbourne. By poeticizing key events in my academic career, such as completing my creative practice PhD and moving overseas to teach English, I adopt a qualitative poetic method of writing on the borders, in the in-between, as a caring and ethical writing practice of making connections between diverse things, to close the gap between Us and Them. This is autoethnography as world making in the transcultural in-between. It is a poetic inquiry of border crossing and world making as transcultural superpower.
