Sobre este artículo
New York: Hanging Loose Press, 1996. First edition, first issue, INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR TO AWARD WINNING POET ROSANNA WARREN. With a black and white frontispiece from artwork by Emily Cheng. 8vo, publisher’s original glossed paper wrappers, with artwork by Emily Cheng printed in colour on the upper cover. 69pp. A very fine copy, unusually so for a delicate item. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED FROM ONE AWARD WINNING POET TO ANOTHER. Chinese/American author Ha Jin had won the PEN/Hemingway Award twice and is also winner of the National Book Award and Flannery O’Conner Award. This copy inscribed to award winning poet Rosanna Warren, daughter of United States Poet Laureate Robert Penn Warren.
Jin grew up in the chaos of early communist China. He was on a scholarship at Brandeis University when the 1989 Tiananmen incident occurred. The Chinese government's forcible put-down hastened his decision to emigrate to the United States, and was the cause of his choice to write in English "to preserve the integrity of his work."
