Some Kind of Beautiful Signal is anchored by a special section of poetry from China's Uyghur ethnic minority. Thousands of years old and incredibly diverse. Uyghur culture is increasingly threatened by geographic isolation and political oppression---this is a rare chance to hear from this culture in its own words.

"Some kind of beautiful signal: that's what each of these stories sends us. When we read in translation, those signals may come from far away, but they are strong and insistent." ---Natasha Wimmer
