The Night Is Old

Chinese Canadian poet Catherine Shi with short poem "Tea" won the first ever Chinese Canadian literary award. Her poetry is mellow and meaningful, resembling a cup of high tea. While reading in a hurry, you'll get a taste of her elegant and fresh imagery, like a spring breeze. If you are reading quietly, read it carefully; for you'll taste the richness with the concealed bitter taste of silent grief hiding behind the words.

This is "Night is old"'s true face.

This anthology is a collection of the poet's creation from the past three decades. From as early as her university days of phonological, rhetoric poetry to today's gloomy sadness and jumping excitement. Catherine demonstrates a wide range of style and showcases her control over her creativity.

Those who have a sweet tooth for poetry, you'll love this book: "Night is old."
