Customer Reviews

The Book of Jade is a polished diamond

Yun Wang melds the magic of words with the magic of physics in the best of what poetry can and should offer. Her poems gift us with elegance and insight, opening dark places to light and - sometimes - to even darker places. The universe is captured in the immediate present, and she has the ability to make the past as immediate. Carol Davis Koss

wonderfully strange and exotic

Exciting stuff. Truly cosmic poetry, about space, consciousness, existence, cosmology, the universe, love, men, women, flirting, babies, birds, fish, Martians, music, exotic dancers, growing up in China, travelling around the world, and everything in between.What a rush. I was alternately astounded, shocked, confused, frightened, awed, amused, and delighted, by the very intelligent poetry in this book.
