Shang Qin (1930–2010) is widely considered one of the most influential and original modern Chinese poets. His critical acclaim was earned not only as a modern master of the prose poem but also as one of Taiwan’s leading surrealist poets. This book is the largest selection of his poetry available in English.

The collection is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and general readers interested in Taiwan literature, modern Chinese literature, modernism, surrealism, comparative literature, and world literature.
