The Past (Wesleyan Poetry Series)

Wendy Xu

4.9/5 (21017 ratings)

Description:Elegiac and searching, poems written in the long shadow of immigrationThe poems in Wendy Xu's third collection, The Past, fantasize uneasily about becoming a palatable lyric record of their namesake, while ultimately working to disrupt this Westernized desire. Born in Shandong, China, in 1987, Wendy Xu immigrated to the United States in 1989, three days ahead of the events of Tian'anmen Square. The Past probes the multi-generational binds of family, displacement, and immigration as an ongoing psychic experience without end. Moving spontaneously between lyric, fragment, prose, and subversions in "traditional" Chinese forms, the book culminates in a centerpiece series of "Tian'anmen Square sonnets" (and their subsequent erasures), to conjure up the irrepressible past, and ultimately imagine a new kind of poem: at once code and confession."Tian'anmen Sonnet" (dead air in air ... )Dead air in air The anniversary of language holds you back against bucolic dreaming, down stream from here is running a miraculous color, elegybursts like a ribbon in air Thinking again of the Square today Bold sky, passing episodes of cloud Vegetation mutters in the Far WestA column of ghosts going violet over time Familiar song looping overhead Lines pressed in airWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
