Riding Pisces brings together a number of hard-to-find and uncollected texts from almost the full extent of Yang Lian's career - from Masks and Crocodiles (Sydney, 1990 - although the translations here are new), from the out-of-print collection Non-Person Singular (London, 1994), from Notes of a Blissful Ghost , published in Hong Kong in 2002, from the Sailor's Home six-handed anthology (Shearsman Books, 2005), and from the as-yet uncollected Dark Blue Verses . For those already familiar with Yang Lian's remarkable long poems, such as Concentric Circles , Where the Sea Stands Still and Yi , this volume offers an invaluable opportunity to fill the gaps in their knowledge. "Yang Lian is one of the most astonishing poets I've read for years. He has a westernist, modernist sensibility allied with an ancient Chinese, almost shamanistic one. He can both excite and frighten you-like MacDiarmid meets Rilke with Samurai sword drawn!" - W.N. Herbert, The Scotsman
