The sea is an impossible force to the poet: it is both a majestic presence that predates man, and something to carry with us wherever we go, to be put \"by an ancient rattan chair,\" so we can watch \"its waves toss\" from above. Exploring the current ecological crisis and our complicated relationship to the wildness around us, Yi Lu finds something more complex than a traditional nature poet might in the mysterious connection between herself and the forces of nature represented by the boundless ocean.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTranslated brilliantly by the acclaimed poet Fiona Sze-Lorrain, this collection of poems introduces an important contemporary Chinese poet to English-language readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40679368523799,"sku":"9781571314765","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/91qJhZ0t3qL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1697844503","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/yi-lu-sea-summit","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
