A Reflection on Passing Time

This collection brings together poems and artworks by twenty-nine Chinese and Chinese American poets and contemporary artists who have lived and worked in New York for more than a decade. Literary and visual expression share the pages of a book shaped by the city’s creative life.

For these contributors, New York is more than a geographical setting: its encounters with art and culture offer continuing inspiration. Edited by Sonia Hu, the volume lets readers encounter poetry alongside images, bringing multiple voices and artistic approaches into conversation.
