'Hongwei Bao's poems have a clarity of vision, thought, and expression, but they also have a rare moral clarity - not in the sense that they give easy answers, but in that they see the minute gradations and degradations of our shared and particular lives.' Ali Lewis, author of Absence 'In a world of war and division, Hongwei's poetry is a cry for unity. His gentle voice delivers heartfelt love and sees no differences in all humanity. More than this, these poems are beautifully well-written, eloquent on passion between man and man being as strong and visceral as heterosexual love, and on the way he is torn between love of his family and landscapes in China and his loved ones and new personal geography in England. His words resound.' Sarah Wardle, author of Spiritlands 'Hongwei Bao distils his experience as a queer, Chinese migrant into lyrics of intense emotional force and political acuity. Faced with racism and homophobia, he maintains an equanimity that is both empowering and touching. A brilliant, liberating debut.' Gregory Woods, author of A History of Gay Literature: The Male Tradition
