After achieving material success in Vancouver, Ming-a first-generation immigrant and former CCP administrator-realizes his soul is fractured. The trilogy follows his three-stage revolution: Detaching from the secular world in a Buddhist monastery; Derailing his life through a record-breaking poetic courtship with his long-lost love, Hua; and Detouring back to the heart of China. As they travel the Yangtze, Ming must reconcile his Red Guard past with his Self-Exiled present to find a personal Eden that exists beyond the boundaries of marriage, state, and ego. uan is also FoundYing editor, Poetry Pacific & Poetry Pacific Press
Yuan Changming grew up in an isolated village, started to learn the English alphabet in Shanghai at age nineteen and published monographs on translation before leaving China. Holding a PhD in English from the University of Saskatchewan, Yuan is the founding editor of Poetry Pacific and an active contributor to the global literary scene. With 15 total Pushcart nominations for poetry and fiction, his writing has been featured in Best of the Best Canadian Poetry, Best New Poems Online and nearly 2,200 other literary outlets across 52 countries. A former poetry juror of Canada's National Magazine Awards, his recent prose - including his 'silver romance' The Tuner, short story collection Flashbacks and the forthcoming CNF collection Return to Roots - explores the hyperrealistic intersection of cultural identity and spiritual cultivation. (Surpassing the traditional sonnet sequences of the Western canon, Yuan has published about 100 love poems - a feat unparalleled by any contemporary Chinese diaspora.) Currently, Yuan lives and writes in Vancouver most of the time
