總為浮雲能蔽日，
長安不見使人愁。

All because the drifting clouds can block out the sun,
Chang'an is not seen, makes a person sad.
--Li Bai, trans. Stephen Owen

Endless gratitude to Louise Glück, who worked tirelessly with me during the last days of her life. Thanks to my UH professors, especially Kevin Prufer and Erin Belieu, for helping me finalize this collection. Thank you—all my friends in China and the U.S—for supporting me.

like a metronome, or a fountain blooming every 25 seconds”
