Back Cover copy

Verse has never been freer, yet strong discipline is at work....The human spectrum visible in Autumn Window will make readers nod, smile and perhaps wipe an eye. --Chicago Tribune

A master of lyrical layers along with the beauty and brevity of his Chinese heritage, he enhances his skill with the spontaneity and flavor of his adopted American homeland. His humor, insight and tenderness are universal; his control of such rich ingredients is sure-handed. Autumn Window is distillation in its purest form: A delightful wine with a rare bouquet. -- Glenna Holloway from the Foreword

Each [poem] is a window opening onto beauty and fluency. There is every shade of happiness and sadness, anger and peace in this collection. Their effortless renderings of a civilized mind in touch with an often mad world are part of their mystery. -- Li-Young Lee from the Foreword

He uses fluently and clearly the language of the common people...gives profound meaning to common objects and events. -- The Isle Full of Noises Modern Chinese Poetry from Taiwan Columbia University Press

Unquestionably among the best contemporary Chinese poets...He is unique and without peer in the arena of short poems. -- Huaxia Poetry (China)

His concise yet highly symbolic poetry, with a deep sense of humanity, adds a new dimension to the rich tradition of Chinese poetry...He bridges the gap between new and old, and between East and West. -- Hong Kong Literature Monthly
