Description
Sidetracks is Bei Dao's first new collection in almost fifteen years, and his magnum opus - the artistic culmination of a lifetime devoted to the renewal and reinvention of language. This long poem marks a significant milestone in the poet's work, bringing together themes and techniques that have been developed over many years. The result is a rich and complex exploration of language, form, and meaning. With Sidetracks, Bei Dao offers a profound meditation on the nature of poetry and its relationship to the world around us. A major new collection from one of China's most important poets, Sidetracks is a significant addition to any poetry collection.
