We Met in Beijing….A New Poetry Collection From Anthony Tao

Posted: July 22nd, 2024 | No Comments »

Anyone who has spent time in Beijing in the last ten years will find plenty to make them nostalgic, or perhaps (as the young say) “trigger” them in Anthony Tao’s new collection of poetry, We Met in Beijing… And we all really should support poetry… available all over the place – here on Amazon

“Beijing is a city of multitudes, filled with contradictions and constantly in flux. It is a place for dreamers and schemers, musicians and migrant workers, techies and teachers, cat ladies and cab drivers—and at the same time, a place for none of them, a seat of power that can feel unwelcoming and closed. In his debut book, Anthony Tao opens the gates to the tree-lined streets, dusty alleys, mirthful canals, fashionable rooftops and sweaty nightclubs of China’s political and cultural nerve center, and invites readers to experience the exhilaration, hardship, and heartbreak of trying to put down roots in this gritty, unrelenting metropolis.”
