Aprašymas

Time Peels All to Original White is the debut poetry collection of a new voice emerging from China that shows the disruptive power of simplicity.

BookLife lauds it as, "richly emotional poems of faith, connection, and eternity."

Foreword calls it, "Inventive, beautiful, and deep, the poems muse on subjects of perennial relevance in fresh, literary ways."

Kirkus states, "From the first page to the last, the poems are dramatic and deeply spiritual."

Living in largely atheistic China, Xueyan, the young poet and self-described "free soul," forcefully expresses her original and powerful ideas in ways that challenge stereotypes of spirituality and common culture.

With modern settings and contemporary language, topics include the sacred and eternal, the nature of God, the existence of evil, the brutality of capitalism, the loneliness of existence, the ecstasy of intimacy, and the ubiquitous reach of love.

The collection's 139 concise and deeply spiritual poems lay bare humanity's most jarring mysteries and contradictions, exposing their raw essence with startling simplicity in ways that transcend borders, cultures, races, and beliefs.

Simply put, Xueyan's poems are remarkably timeless, placeless. Universal.
