Forbidden Entries

by John Yau and Cleo Qian

Fifty-four new poems by John Yau, who examines ways in which language has long been used, quite often subtly, to oppress and exclude." Yau conduct us across wastes of "cities... fluttering with lost ghouls" through dawn-inkling "Chrome Snooze Lots" to "shrapnel inlaid verandahs" and "second level nocturnal trellises" where, curtained in mirage, "inhabited shadows wait"... "This, we tell ourselves, is the place where we must start".
