Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. My Tenantless Body is the celebrated Sichuanese poet Yu Yoyos first publication in English. It presents a sensitive yet forceful new voice that leads us through the haunted nightscapes of China with dark wit. The books young protagonist veers in and out of focus: her thoughts always intensely clear, her feeling never simply clarified. In these poems the oblique and the plain-spoken seem to cross paths, picking one anothers pockets along the way. Includes an afterword by Rebecca Tamas."One reads in Yu's pointed lines a disappearance of the poet herself; not only in her predominant idiom (a searching, imperative voice), but in her stark depiction of contemporary China's bleached cities and sullen interiors, with hardly any room left for the expressive first-person".- Theophilus Kwek, The Poetry Review These translations of one China's leading younger poets, Yu Yoyo, take us into the nightscapes of Chengdu. The poems explore the social, political and personal anxieties and pressures of early adulthood in contemporary China. The poems are sensitively translated by acclaimed poet AK Blakemore and bridge translator Dave Haysom.
