Inhaltsangabe
A companion volume to Lo Fu’s book-length poem Driftwood (Zephyr Press, 2006), Stone Cell compiles writing from every decade of his celebrated literary career.
“Beyond Logic”
Do you know why rivers cling to their banks?
Because they only have one way of dying
Even with two banks, the ferries have no choice
We’d prefer an incendiary bomb
To smelling the scorched stench of the setting sun
As long as I live I’m destined to swallow those awful sonnets
Turning to the last page—
Still those damned sonnets
This is a cemetery where a single voice is buried
It echoes in the heart, an eagle circles the brink
If it’s a thorn, let it pierce blood with love
If it’s a poppy, let a smile blossom on the lips
The poet’s philosophy of life
is an unwillingness to die
Lo Fu is the author of twelve volumes of poetry. He has won all the major literary awards in Taiwan, including the China Times Literary Award and the National Literary Award.

John Balcom has translated more than a dozen books into English from Chinese. He is an associate professor and head of the Chinese program at the Monterey Institute. Balcom’s recent publications include Taiwan’s Indigenous Writers: An Anthology of Stories, Essays, and Poems, which received the 2006 Northern California Book Award.
