"Jenny Xie's The Rupture Tense"
"The ingenuity of Xie’s collection lies in its kernels of a codified understanding, its staunch awareness of the permutations of being, and the escalated dislocation of severed, phantom memorabilia. And yet, even as these poems delve into Marianne Hirsch’s concept of 'post-memory,' they also engage in a distant rendering, a leakage into the future, and a radical juncture of poetic imagining.”

What Sparks Poetry:
David Hinton on Li Po's "Drinking Alone Beneath the Moon"
"I’ve found that translating classical Chinese poetry is a way for me to make contemporary poetry that operates outside of the Western cosmological or mythological system, even so far as to register a very different sense of what the self is. In this poetry, identity can be so much a part of the empirical world that it actually becomes landscape." |
