New York Times Reviews Bard Professor Jenny Xie’s New Collection of Poems The Rupture Tense
Assistant Professor of Written Arts Jenny Xie’s newest poetry collection, The Rupture Tense, evokes the spoken and unspoken, seen and unseen experiences of China’s Cultural Revolution as its painful legacy is passed through the generations. “In the book, the poet not only peeks at her family’s past and their country’s history, but also explores the subversive power to be found in examining what has been concealed or overlooked: Li’s long-hidden archive, the older generations’ silence about the past, and the unexamined trauma that goes on shaping how family members relate to one another,” writes Han Zhang for the New York Times.
