Product Description
Winner of the 15th annual Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize Selected from more than 900 manu-scripts, this collection possesses unusual thematic coherence and intimacy. Many poems are set in the author's-native China. They explore family history and dynamics set against the oppressive Cultural Revolution.Yun Wang, born in a small town in Southwest China in 1964, came to the U.S. to study physics in 1985. She is an assistant professor specializing in theoretical cosmology at the University of Oklahoma. This is her first full-length collection.

The Book of Jade is a polished diamond June 10, 2005

Yun Wang melds the magic of words with the magic of physics in the best of what poetry can and should offer. Her poems gift us with elegance and insight, opening dark places to light and - sometimes - to even darker places. The universe is captured in the immediate present, and she has the ability to make the past as immediate.

Exciting stuff. Truly cosmic poetry, about space, consciousness, existence, cosmology, the universe, love, men, women, flirting, babies, birds, fish, Martians, music, exotic dancers, growing up in China, travelling around the world, and everything in between.What a rush. I was alternately astounded, shocked, confused, frightened, awed, amused, and delighted, by the very intelligent poetry in this book.
