Lin Song & Jami Proctor Xu 
Sunday Sparrows [PDF ebook] 

Song Lin’s poems explore his sojourns in several countries, the naturalworld, and his own inner landscape. His early imprisonment duringthe 1989 Tiananmen Square protests gave rise to the title poem, as well as a profound sense of yearning that pervades much of his work. While his work is rooted in both contemporary and classical Chinese poetry, he incorporates into his poems American, French, and Latin-American literary traditions.
