Author Description

PREFACE by Gregory Byala & Hongchen WangAs the saying goes, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." But what if life gives you a lemon tree: A myriad of possibilities, sour and sweet? Blane Xinghan Zhu's first poetry collection seeks to capture this bounty through the mundanity and absurdity of life, the lingering of thought that stems from solitude and excessive observation. Amongst various vignettes of "romance" and "humoresque", the author offers a unique and personal look into change, loss, love, how to deal with information, and ultimately, the beings that inhabit this world.
