The website Poetryeater has uploaded a Xi Chuan poem under the title of “Misfortune A 000000.” They don’t credit the translator, but it looks like it’s Wang Ping‘s translation with Alex Lemon published in the literary journal Grain in 2009. Here’s how it begins:

He never looks back, yet knows I am lurking.

He shouts: “Stop on the edge of the cliff, or your body won’t withstand the anger.”

He turns, sees the purple aura rising above me. He shakes his head, and the sun sinks into the trees.
