  There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

  A landmark collection of poetry by acclaimed fiction writer, translator, and MacArthur Fellow John Keene, Punks: New & Selected Poems is a generous treasury in seven sections that spans decades and includes previously unpublished and brand new work. With depth and breadth, Punks  
  weaves together historic narratives of loss, lust, and love. The many voices that emerge in these poems—from historic Black personalities, both familial and famous, to the poet's friends and lovers in gay bars and bedrooms—form a cast of characters capable of addressing desire, oppression,  
  AIDS, and grief through sorrowful songs that "we sing as hard as we live." At home in countless poetic forms, Punks reconfirms John Keene as one of the most important voices in contemporary poetry.

  Transcendence

  What lies behind this sunlit world?…Something too deep for thought,…Open only to prayer.
   
  These poems reflect moments when one experiences something more than what one  sees and hears, feelings of the sublime, the holy, the transcendent.
   
  …When meditating by a Wiltshire stream, or walking alone through an African forest, observed by a thousand unseen eyes and ears, from giant cats to tremulous snakes.
   
  …Feelings of going beyond oneself, beyond anxiety and feelings of inadequacy, losing oneself in the great chain of being.
   
  …The healing experience of being part of nature, losing the fear of death.
   
  From  intimations of transcendence in nature, this book moves on to the magic of ancient churches where so many have offered up their sorrows and joys and then to meditations and prayers, as well as the consolations offered by ancient rituals, by the rhythm of the church’s seasons, from the magic of Christmas through the penitence of Lent to the glories of Easter.
   
  The final section explores the tragic lockdowns caused by Covid-19.

  A Requiem For What Could Have Been

  I wrote these poems incrementally, but collated, edited, and recorded them collectively. A process that was at first therapeutic and then brutally revealing. A lot of the pieces touch upon regret, lost possibilities, and missed opportunities born of trauma, neglect, mental illness, and fear, as well as the desperation that comes when you find yourself searching for hope inside of darkness.What could’ve been and what is, are not the same thing. A lot of my pain comes from an inability to reconcile those two disparate facets of my existence. I know I can’t have everything I want, no one can. But when you are broken, it can be hard to know what you want, let alone have any idea of how to attain it.Thus, I write. I write to heal, to express the darkness within, to get it onto the page, and into the light. To understand myself and to understand my understanding of the world.If you resonate with my words I encourage you to write some of your own - it will help.what could have beenis brokenand what isfeels like a dreamthese words servedas a temporary anchoragainst the swirling chaosof a corrupted soullonging for restwritingsaved my lifeeditingalmost killed mei hopeit wasworth it
