Anniversary Snow
"If Yang Lian is new to you, I hope it spurs you on to read more of this extraordinary poet. If you have read him before, then you will find familiar themes here: the search for a mature wisdom, the need to readjust the balance between modernism and the classical heritage, the impossibility of giving easy solutions to the problem of evil and suffering in this world. There is also a new sense of his coming to terms with the devastating loss of his mother when he was a teenager, which is when he began writing poetry, as well as intimate and tenderly-voiced declarations of the power of love in its many forms. There is, too, a growing sense of poetry as a weapon in the fight to heal this planet of ours, so wounded by greed, war, exploitation and plunder. This is large poetry, deep poetry, poetry that concerns itself with the great human themes. This is poetry that can change your life." --Brian Holton, from the Afterword to this volume
Between the Lines: Yang Lian's Poetry Through Translation
Between the Lines provides theoretical foundation and a methodology for studying poetry through translation. With insider’s perspective, the author Cosima Bruno presents contemporary Chinese poems by Yang Lian (b. 1955) as case study.
Whaur the Deep Sea Devauls
This pamphlet presents the work of one of the major voices in modern Chinese poetry in Scots translation. Published to mark Yang Lian's appearance at the 2005 Edinburgh International Book Festival, it contains the complete sequence 'Whaur the Deep Sea Devauls' (Where the Sea Stands Still) along with 16 'Sixteeners' (16-line poems). The sequence is translated by Brian Holton, Yang Lian's principal translator into English, and the Sixteeners are owerset by Scots poet (and brother of Brian) Harvey Holton. A unique and astonishing collaboration, pushing the boundaries of language and poetry. As Yang Lian has said, To open up language is to open up possibilities of thinking and feeling...

Islands and Continents
From one of the most celebrated literary figures in Hong Kong comes this collection of short stories. Seeing Hong Kong through a kaleidoscope, the author poignantly represents Hong Kong through a variety of themes.
大海停止之處
Since the heady days of the Beijing Spring in the late 1970s, Yang Lian has forged complex poetry whose themes are the search for a Yeatsian mature wisdom, accommodation of modernity within the ancient and book-haunted Chinese tradition and a rapprochement between the literatures of East and West. Poetry Book Society Recommended Translation.
Chinese Literature in the World
This book features a collection of articles on comparative literature from a translational perspective, with a special reference to translation of contemporary Chinese literature. Issues of translation, dissemination, and reception of translated literature in the context of world literature are the foci of the book. Given its scope, the book appeals particularly to teachers and students of Chinese literature, translation, and Sinology.
精神与金钱时代的中国诗歌——从1980年代到21世纪初
本书以“文革”以来的中国当代诗歌为研究对象，深入考察早期朦胧诗之后的先锋诗歌。作者从文本（诗歌作品）、语境（诗歌的历史、文化、社会环境）和元文本（关于诗歌的各种话语）三个方面切入，既关注审美问题，也关注文化社会学问题；既涉及诗人身份等社会学问题，也探讨各种个案，如个别诗人研究（如韩东、海子、西川、于坚、孙文波、尹丽川、沈浩波、颜峻）及文学史上的重要现象；既是文学史，也是文学批评。
Riding Pisces
Riding Pisces brings together a number of hard-to-find and uncollected texts from almost the full extent of Yang Lian's career - from Masks and Crocodiles (Sydney, 1990 - although the translations here are new), from the out-of-print collection Non-Person Singular (London, 1994), from Notes of a Blissful Ghost, published in Hong Kong in 2002, from the Sailor's Home six-handed anthology (Shearsman Books, 2005), and from the as-yet uncollected Dark Blue Verses. For those already familiar with Yang Lian's remarkable long poems, such as Concentric Circles, Where the Sea Stands Still and Yi, this volume offers an invaluable opportunity to fill the gaps in their knowledge. "Yang Lian is one of the most astonishing poets I've read for years. He has a westernist, modernist sensibility allied with an ancient Chinese, almost shamanistic one. He can both excite and frighten you-like MacDiarmid meets Rilke with Samurai sword drawn!" - W.N. Herbert, The Scotsman
