Sinopsis

Riding Piscesábrings together a number of hard-to-find and uncollected texts from almost the full extent of Yang LianâÇÖs career - fromáMasks and Crocodiles (Sydney, 1990 - although the translations here are new), from the out-of-print collectionáNon-Person Singular (London, 1994), fromáNotes of a Blissful Ghost, published in Hong Kong in 2002, from theáSailorâÇÖs Homeásix-handed anthology (Shearsman Books, 2005), and from the as-yet uncollectedáDark Blue Verses. For those already familiar with Yang LianâÇÖs remarkable long poems, such asáConcentric Circles,áWhere the Sea Stands StilláandáYi, this volume offers an invaluable opportunity to fill the gaps in their knowledge.'Yang Lian is one of the most astonishing poets IâÇÖve read for years. He has a westernist, modernist sensibility allied with an ancient Chinese, almost shamanistic one. He can both excite and frighten you-like MacDiarmid meets Rilke with Samurai sword drawn!' - W.N. Herbert,áThe Scotsman
