Synopsis:

Empty Chairs marks the first time that English language versions of Liu Xia's poetry have been presented alongside the Chinese originals in one volume. Poems here chronicled have been drawn from over 30 years of Xia's career and provide a unique insight into both the Chinese justice system and the fraught inner life of a woman living under duress.

About the Author: Liu Xia is a Chinese poet and artist. English translations of her poetry by Ming Di and Jennifer Stern have been published by PEN America, Chinese PEN, the BBC, The Guardian, the Margins for the Asian American Writers' Workshop, Poetry, the Poetry Society of America, and Words Without Borders. Liu Xia's photographs have appeared in galleries throughout the world. She has been living under strict house arrest since her husband, the poet and activist Liu Xiaobo, was imprisoned in 2009 for "inciting subversion of state power" and then received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010.
