//There will be a time in the future
Going forward─Drink more water. Eat healthy. and
Get up early and go to bed early
Make yourself lighter
──〈ever〉//
//You still remind me of──
You can hope, you can
There is no hope left, when I stare at the stars on the other side
My soul is lighter than me
──〈Ten Beginnings〉//
The first collection of poems by Taiwanese young poet Xie Xusheng. The poetry collection includes the works of more than 80 poets from the time they wrote poems to the present, including award-winning works, those published on important literary platforms, and those published privately. The poet's verses are always accurate and often surprising, entering into and out of language, but also transcending the limitations of language. . Wandering between the surface images and deep metaphors of words, he explores the origin of life, interrogates the original appearance of life, and the despair and vitality of personal emotions. Don't fall into clichés, don't pursue resonance that stops at the superficial, but go into the depths of the soul and memory of the poet reader, and leave marks one by one.
Cai Linsen and Zeng Ganxian jointly recommended
Xu Sheng's poems have their own pursuit of purpose. It patiently shuttles between the physical properties of words, audio, propositions and pseudo-propositions, following "the first trip to a distant place" and then walking on the "way home".
