1. 801-C - Fay Chiang's work is complex. Born of anger, it is ultimately optimistic about the importance of the artist as a preserver and perpetuator of culture, and of the self-determination of the individual in a society in which pressures to conform persist. Her unflinching sense of fairness and justice and her intolerance of hypocrisy seem at odds with her joie de vivre and good humor. In truth, her tenacity and clear vision are the strength of her work, both artistic and political. Fay Chiang is a writer, artist and community/cultural activist living and working in Chinatown and the Lower East Side of New York City for the past four decades. Raised in the backroom of a laundry in Queens by immigrant parents from Guandong, China, she writes from her experiences as a woman of color from the working class. She believes culture is a psychological weapon to reclaim our past, define our present and to envision possibilities for our future; that the development of culture is an integral part of progressive social change and social justice movements.

4. 801-J - Wang Jiaxin is a major voice in contemporary world poetry. Intimate, historical, and ruminative, the poems in his latest collection, At the Same Time, invite readers into a space of multiple cultural convergences as East and West engage in a luminous poetic dialogue. Weaving together themes of memory and exile, Wang’s meditations find solace in the company of such disparate literary figures as Du Fu and Anna Akhmatova, carrying readers to far flung places, from Santorini to Long Island. Nuanced and attentive to the weight of history, they celebrate the heroism of lyric resistance while marking the transient beauty of the mundane. Impeccably rendered by John Balcom, the poems both valorize and question the literary enterprise. Writing about the American poet Hart Crane, Wang asks: "But in the end, what did you save?"

16. 801-S - In this small, select collection of poems, Sze, author of six previous books of poetry and professor of creative writing at the Institute of American Indian Arts in New Mexico, has made accessible to Western readers the works of 18 Chinese poets previously translated into English sparsely, if at all. Among the most valuable aspects of this sensitively crafted collection is the introduction, in which Sze describes, in fascinating detail, his translation process, from the word clusters he creates for each Chinese ideogram to the finished poem. The Silk Dragon (Sze's metaphor for poetry) begins with the timeless poems of T'ao Ch'ien ("Evening dew moistens my clothes;/ but so what if my clothes are wet / I choose not to avoid anything that comes") and moves on to such masters of poetry as Wang Wei, Li Po, and Shen Chou, to name just a few. Toward the end, the reader is introduced to the contemporary poetry of Yen Chen, whose distinctive "party" voice nonetheless reflects his heritage: "The traveling bells ring quick/ like beans jumping in the frying pan.
