Report on Australia: a collection of poetry written in Chinese
by Ouyang Yu

(just out in China on 21/3/08, a special issue of Otherland, No. 11, 2008)

Limited to two-hundred copies only, this collection of Chinese poetry written by Ouyang Yu is just released by Otherland Publishing in Wuhan, P. R. China. It is 239 pages in length, containing 147 poems written in Chinese by Ouyang Yu while living in Australia. These are poems that take such issues head-on as nostalgia or non-nostalgia, mental problems, violence, love-making, foreigners living in a foreign country that keep them eternal foreigners. One poem has caused such a controversy that a nationally funded project was scrapped in China.

This book is now available.
