It has often been said that love, both sacred and profane, is the only true subject of the lyric poem. Nothing better justifies this claim than these splendid poems in this volume. Feng Zhou, poems are always original and fresh. His writing is at its most piercing, layered, with imagery that anyone can understand and appreciate, even those who don't normally like poetry. These poems surprising, and effortlessly communicate the thoughts many readers wish they had thought or said themselves. And I, for one, don't mind reading a poet who doesn't make me work too hard, who presents me with an often unexpected, and even profound, reward. Thank you for these exquisite poems.
