His days go by the way her years, by Mimi Ye, is a Chinese poetry collection from Taiwan, translated from Chinese by Steve Bradbury, published by Anomalous Press in 2013. It is a Taiwanese collection by Mimi Ye, translated by Steve Bradbury, that turns time into an intimate imbalance. The title has the ache of comparison built into it, asking how one life can move beside another without sharing the same measure. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.
