A city of one person

The Collected Poems of Lü Yutao. Divided into four volumes, the book contains 55 poems. The poet uses poetry to express his emotions and aspirations, capturing his daily life and the transformation of his city under the influence of politics and current events.

Yow Cheun Hoe's preface recommends:

Lü Yutao takes the position of an urban resident, thinking about and writing about the country's environment, system and structure.

The poet uses lyricism or narrative, or both, to move all kinds of uneasy agitation and turn them into stable words in poetry.

I want to know you. Please enter my body. Like locusts crawling across my lungs, I'll replicate your genes in the host's cells. I'll replicate your short life. A gentle dream of a pompom flower.

Let you carve the scars of your life in the place closest to my heart where you once lived, fought for your ideals, and lived through fibrosis, so that I will remember it for a long time when I breathe.

We had a spring full of flowers
