- Used Book in Good Condition
A selection from the lifework of the internationally renowned poet Bei Dao, who is â€œlike reading Chekhov or Turgenev reflected in a porcelain bowlâ€ (The Times [London]).
in the mirror there is always this moment
this moment leads to the door of rebirth
the door opens to the sea
the rose of time
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â â€•Bei Dao

The Rose of Time: New & Selected Poems presents a glowing selection of poetry by contemporary Chinaâ€™s most celebrated poet, Bei Dao. From his earliest work, Bei Dao developed a wholly original poetic language composed of mysterious and arresting images tuned to a distinctive musical key. This collection spans Bei Daoâ€™s entire writing life, from his first book to appear in English, The August Sleepwalker, published a year after the Tiananmen tragedy, to the increasingly interior and complex poems of Landscape Over Zero and Unlock, to new never-before-published work. This bilingual edition also includes a prefatory note by the poet, and a brief afterword by the editor Eliot Weinberger. A must-read book from a seminal poet who has been translated into over thirty languages.
