"A formally bold work of irascible freedom and scathing political commentary, but also, at its core, a poignant lament for human transience." @angelosmao reviews PEE POEMS by Lao Yang, tr. from the Chinese by Joshua Edwards and Lynn Xu (@CircBooks): full-stop.net/2022/11/08/rev….

"What is poetry written after art itself no longer feels possible? . . . PEE POEMS is Lao Yang’s answer in verse."

And the whole book was published by @CircBooks in 2019!
“We boiled the milk after going to mass. You kneaded the bread with water and pale local flour. There was no time for kisses or sweet talk. You kept boats in your pockets.”
One of seven poems from Camoflage by Lupe Gómez, translated by @ErinMoure in Touch the Donkey 18.

Dog crap ferments in the stables
Hot fumes waft up to a nose
A storm fatigued from its journey
Lies panting at a door that is closed
check out some of #LaoYang's work @action__books #poetryinaction

"Once on the road
The end of the road cannot be seen
Nor is death an end
It’s just a sudden road sign
In human shape"
