Paperback. "Xiaoly Li's latest collection Wakening Between Worlds is a true discovery of identity. These poems narrate the poet's heritage through magic and myth. Through persona, ars poetica, or just Li's nuanced language, she brings us with her- to beauty, to pain where "every step a wound" breaks us as readers. Though, no matter where she takes us, we end each poem transcended." -Alexis Ivy, author of Taking the Homeless Census "Xiaoly Li's exquisite Waking Between Worlds chronicles a life of regime change, childhood deprivation, forced familial separation, and immigration, and never refuses the comfort of the flora and fauna of the earth or of remembered and present beauty." -Marcela Sulak, author of The Fault and the National Jewish Book Award Finalist, City of Skypapers"Wakening Between Worlds is the bravest of books.The ancient poets visit her, inform her voice. Past and present intertwine throughout. At times she calls on forms: haiku, cinquain, shadorma. She tells us again and again of her awe of the natural world." -Margot Wizansky, author of Random Music in a Small Galaxy This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

"The first time I read Wakening Between Worlds I sat with each poem, let it settle in me; I wanted to feel them, one at a time, before I thought them, something immediately apparent in the author’s approach, too. ‘I wrote my first poem / the first time I saw the ocean,’ writes Xiaoly Li, and thus does an intricate, dewed, singularly tender history begin. Through the turning of the natural world, this poet carefully, intentionally, walks us through a life—one with a questioning, persistent, openly admiring viewpoint that invites, via meditative offering, entry to her world."
—Tennison Black, author of Survival Strategies, winner of the National Poetry Series 2022, and the AZ Book Award in poetry, 2024
