Hai Zi: Autumn Rooftop Landscape

Description

Over Autumn Rooftops by Hai Zi. Translated from the Chinese by Dan Murphy (Host Publications, paperback)

Publication Date: November 5, 2010

Publisher Marketing: Poetry. East Asia Studies. In the six years prior to his death, Hai Zi wrote over 250 short poems, a number of poetic plays, long poems totaling over 400 pages, and several short stories. His verse illuminates the poverty and desperation of his peasant upbringing, reflects on China’s literary and cultural history, and touches down on the grasslands and wheat fields of western China, but he is not simply a cultural poet or a nature poet—his poetry transcends all of this. In OVER AUTUMN ROOFTOPS, Host Publications is proud to make available to English-speaking audiences the work of this profound and beloved poet.
