The Yellowing Roots of Not by Yě Yě

"what more explanations / do we still need // to prove the unyielding / solitude that haunts / a poet’s need / to be"

The Yellowing Roots of Not is a collection of poems in an extensive range of styles that the author has explored in recent years. The works vary not only in form, but also in theme, largely revolving around personal loss, emotional displacement and cultural reflections, while Yuan's fresh approach to textual design echoes these thinking "expeditions".
