Raised by Wolves, by Amang, is a Chinese poetry collection from Taiwan, translated from Chinese by Steve Bradbury, published by HewesHeiser in 2020. It is a Taiwanese collection by Amang, translated by Steve Bradbury, that brings feral kinship and survival into the lyric field. The title is playful and dangerous at once, suggesting a speaker shaped by pack, hunger, wilderness, and refusal. 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.
