Over autumn rooftops, by Haizi, is a Chinese poetry collection from China, translated from Chinese by Dan Murphy, published by Host Publications in 2010. It is a Chinese collection by Haizi, translated by Dan Murphy, whose title carries the melancholy lift of season, height, and distance. Haizi’s poems often feel touched by visionary loneliness, and this book invites the reader to look across ordinary rooftops until they become thresholds. 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.
