The Crane
Selected Poems
The Chinese poet Yau Noi, like many of his generation, has known two very different Chinas in the course of his lifetime. Born and raised on a small farm, he later came to experience the complexity of an increasingly urban world. Then as a young man in the late 1980s, he began to describe the profound changes taking place in China through those tumultuous years.<BR>Influenced by surrealism and by the 'Misty' poets who resisted restrictions on art during the Cultural Revolution, Yau Noi's poetry describes distinct 'Before', 'During' and 'After' periods that are both a record of his own journey and that of his country. <BR>"Chinese literature has always been almost too immense to talk about ..." writes Liu Xun in her Foreword to this bilingual Selected Poems. We are grateful to her and co-translator Harry Clifton for giving us a sense in English of these utterly engaging and distinctive poems, and a glimpse of the times that brought them into being.
