My Tenantless Body is the celebrated Sichuanese poet Yu Yoyo's first publication in English. It presents a sensitive yet forceful new voice that leads us through the haunted nightscapes of China with dark wit. The book's young protagonist veers in and out of focus: her thoughts always intensely clear, her feeling never simply clarified.
