PRAISE FOR FINGERS OF SUDDEN RAIN IN BLOOM

A stunning debut in English. Ge Ye's poems are at once deeply rooted in the Chinese landscape and utterly universal-they speak of fate, love, power, solitude, and the luminous persistence of childhood. -Translation Review

This is poetry of a rare kind: it does not perform its suffering, nor does it disguise its anger. It simply tells the truth, as plainly as a farmer tells you that the weather has been unkind this year. -From the Foreword

ABOUT THE BOOK

Fingers of Sudden Rain in Bloom presents the first English translation of Ge Ye's complete 1997 poetic cycle-101 poems written over the course of a single year. Divided into six thematic volumes, the collection traces the full arc of human experience: the labor of the earth, the anguish of love, the weight of history, the depths of solitude, and the return to childhood.

At its heart lies a single question: How does one live with one's fate? Not as a passive recipient, but as one who sows, tends, and sometimes neglects the seeds that fate has placed within.

For readers of Rilke, Neruda, Mary Oliver, and Ocean Vuong-and for anyone who has ever asked, in the dark, what it means to be human.
