Dangling

On a Certain Afternoon on a certain afternoon I, on a sudden, actually smelt something like a rat from the fifth collection of poetry by a poet I had been passionately in love with on a certain afternoon a mass poetry magazine, just bought was ripped to pieces by me and a newspaper, known to all, that had just arrived was carried by me to the toilet... Yang Xie, born in 1972 in Wenling, Zhejiang, China, is an award-winning poet whose poems have been published in China, Australia, America and Vietnam, a number of them, translated by Ouyang, in the Age, Kenyon Review and Indiana Review, a few years ago. A most recent collectoin of poetry, Poems of Yi Sha, Shu Cia and Yang Xie, translated by Outang Yu, was published in 2013 by Vagabond Press in Sydney, Australia. Yang Xie's collection of short stories, titled, dao jinmao dasha qu (Going to the Prosperous and Golden Building), written in Chinese, was published by Kaiming Publishing House in 2013 in China.
