Your Face My Flag

By Julian Gewirtz

Book Overview

Debut poems of stunning power and range from a China scholar and policy advisor

Torn between intimacy and estrangement, eros and politics,
history and futurity, Your Face My Flag is a riveting debut poetry
collection. Gewirtz explores the place of poetry in a globalized era, shaped by
escalating geopolitical tensions between China and "the West." From the
factories where iPhones are assembled to riverside idylls where men have long
met for sex, these poems move restlessly across continents and through
centuries. In a world that conspires to dull us against the particular, Gewirtz
writes with sharp focus, recapturing memory and desire in stunning detail.
