Description
Imperium by Jay Gao is a debut poetry collection that introduces a compelling and innovative talent. These poems layer together formal experiments, lyric intensity, and occasionally sardonic perspectives on the contemporary, drawing on classical antecedents such as Homer, Ovid, and Sappho. Gao's perspective as a Chinese-Scottish poet, critic, and editor brings a refreshingly original voice to the page. His poetry is characterized by its ability to capture moments that are both visited by and never free of the memory of trauma. The result is a unique blend of spectral and vivid imagery, timeless and current themes. Through his work, Gao attempts to sift through the wreckage of war and argue back to it, creating a sense of urgency and importance in his poetry.
