Synopsis
In the six years prior to his death, Hai Zi wrote over 250 short poems, a number of poetic plays, and long poems totaling over 400 pages. Although his verse illuminates the poverty of his rural upbringing, reflects on China s literary and cultural history, and touches down on the grasslands and wheat fields of western China, he is not simply a cultural poet or a nature poet his poetry transcends all of this. In the twenty years since his death, we have seen the publication of his complete works, at least two full-length biographies, and numerous essays about his work, all in Chinese. In Over Autumn Rooftops, Host Publications is proud to make available to English-speaking audiences the work of this profound and beloved poet.
