Having written 600 poems and 300 sets of lyrics, Xia Yu says poetry seems more violent, wild, and solitary, while songs are more kitsch and camp. Who knows, perhaps poetry is even more kitsch and camp than songs; in this era, all definitions have been turned on their heads several times over.

This will be a super long context
Finally we mix and match super baggy pajamas
With hotel slippers and a down jacket
Like a born artist arriving on Monday

To be haphazardly stitched back into my body
By an unlicensed quack who has read Wittgenstein...
