Description
by Ling Yü (Author), Nicholas Y. H. Wong (Translator)
"Their swimming postures are unique
Some foam at the mouth, some angle their feet to the sky
But they don't die
In the dauntlessly crashing waves"
-from Daughter W
Ling Yü's lyrical and rhythmic poetry invites readers into meditations on feminine roles, family values, and the delicate balance between individuals and society. Her tender yet powerful verses reflect a deep connection to humanity, bridging cultural divides and resonating with readers of all ages.
Winner of the 2025 Newman Prize for Chinese Literature
"Ling Yü's language is economical and concise, yet surprising and reverberating with complex meaning... Through her works, readers encounter a prism of rich, elegantly employed references that span themes of meditation, travel, feminism, capitalism, the environment, mythology, and more." - Cosima Bruno, SOAS, London
