Emptiness: Asian Poems, 1998-2012

By John Mateer

From the teeming cities of Singapore, Tokyo and Beijing to the quiet of a Malaccan street, a Honshu mountain or even a Malay cemetery in Cape Town, Mateer's journeys are out into the unknown world and deep into the mind. Like the early twentieth-century French poet and archaeologist Victor Segalen, who is key to the book's later poems on China, Mateer always affirms the power and pleasure of the foreign.
