Description
"Iron Moon is a monumental achievement. It redraws the boundaries of working-class poetry for the new millennium by incorporating at its center issues like migration, globalization, and rank-and-file resistance. We hear in these poems what Zheng Xiaoqiong calls "a language of callouses." This isn't a book about the lost industrial past; it's a fervent testimony to the horrific, hidden histories of the 21st century's working-class and a clarion call for a more cooperative and humane show more future."--Mark Nowak, author of Coal Mountain Elementary Eleanor Goodman is a writer and translator. Her translation of work by Wang Xiaoni,Something Crosses My Mind, won the Lucien Stryk Translation Prize. Her first poetry collection isNine Dragon Island. show lessTags
