London based Yang Lian is a celebrated Chinese poet and essayist,
widely known both inside and outside China. He was invited to visit
New Zealand in 1988, and arrived in Auckland in 1989, where he was
at the time of the Tiananmen Square massacre. His subsequent four
traumatic years in New Zealand were extremely productive
artistically and made his name internationally. ""Unreal City""
presents, in an English translation, a selection of poems from this
period, as well as a number of his essays, appearing in English for
the first time, which meditate upon the experience of living in an
Antipodean city from a startling, fresh perspective. These
fascinating and moving texts are accompanied by notes and an
introduction, which sets Yang's work in the context of Chinese, New
Zealand and world literature.
