New Directions Poet of the Week: Xi Chuan

The New Directions website posts a featured “Poet of the Week,” and this week it’s Xi Chuan!

In addition to posting sections of my translations of Xi Chuan’s “The City I Live In” 我居住的城市, “Beast” 巨兽, and “On My Meaningless Life” 关于我的无意义的生活, the feature also quotes from my introduction giving some of the context and background of Xi Chuan’s life and work.

Take a loook!
