<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>At the Sky's Edge</i> combines in a single bilingual paperback volume two essential works by one of the world's finest contemporary poets. In his first retrospective volume of poetry in English, two of Bei Dao's previous books<i>Forms of Distance</i> (1994) and <i>Landscape Over Zero</i> (1996)are gathered together in one bilingual paperback edition. <i>At The Sky's Edge: Poems 1991-1996</i> marks a pivotal point in the poet's oeuvre, presenting the increasingly lyrical, meditative poems written in the years following his banishment from China in 1989. Translated into twenty-five languages, Bei Dao's work has long been appreciated internationally, but is just recently gaining a larger audience in the US. <i>At The Sky's Edge</i> becomes Bei Dao's seventh book published by New Directions and is the first time <i>Forms of Distance</i> appears in a paperback edition. The translations of David Hinton, who was awarded the prestigious Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from The Academy of American Poets in 1997, capture both the musicality and density of the original Chinese. Quiet, spare, these are poems of paradox and possibility, of words carefully balanced, of a world on edge.
