Poetry Feature in Bitter Oleander

The Fall 2011 issue (Vol. 17, No. 2) of Bitter Oleander features an interview of Fiona Sze-Lorrain with editor Paul B. Roth, a generous selection of her new poetry, and some of her translations of Chinese contemporary poets, Bai Hua and Yi Lu.

Silhouette/Shadow:
The Cinematic Art of Gao Xingjian

Combining poetry and prose with more than eighty pages of illustrations, this book contains new, translated poetry and essays written by the 2000 Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature, Gao Xingjian and his film collaborators. Addressing the film completed in 2005, Silhouette/Shadow (La Silhouette sinon l'ombre) is the first documentation that focuses exclusively on Gao's artistic expression in the film world.

With a preface written by the editor Fiona Sze-Lorrain, it also contains a new essay by Gao on his cinematic craft (translated from the Chinese by Mabel Lee) and the unabridged version of the poem “The Way of the Wandering Bird” (translated from the French by Ned Burgess and Fiona Sze-Lorrain).
