Description: "Unlock presents forty-nine recent poems written in the United States, and may well be Bei Dao's most powerful work to date. Complex, full of startling and sometimes surreal imagery, sudden transitions, and oblique political references, and often embedding bits of bureaucratic speech and unexpected slang, his poetry has been compared to that of Paul Celand and Cesar Vallejo - poets who invented a new poetry and a new language in the attempt to speak of the enormity of their times."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Chinese and English on facing pages.
