Yang Lian is one of the best-known of the so-called misty poets who came to
prominence in China during the 1980s. His work, which has found rich sources at
the margins of Chinese culture  the south, the far west and Tibet  and in
ancient Chinese cultural forms  such as his reading of The Book of Changes  is
wide-ranging, exploratory, linguistically rich and deeply rewarding.
