Wild Great Wall, by Zhu Zhu, is a Chinese poetry collection from China, translated from Chinese by Dong Li, published by HewesHeiser in 2018. It is a Chinese collection by Zhu Zhu, translated by Dong Li, where national monument and unruly imagination meet. The title turns the Great Wall from fixed symbol into something living, wild, and perhaps resistant to official smoothness. 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.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
