Yang Lian talks in English about his book CONCENTRIC CIRCLES, and then reads the first part of the opening poem in Chinese. This film is from IN PERSON: 30 POETS filmed by Pamela Robertson-Pearce. Pamela Robertson-Pearce has been filming poets reading their work for Bloodaxe's archive and DVD-books. We will be posting further films of individual poets. We are also showing a 45-minute film (featuring 20 poets from the IN PERSON archive reading their work) at various independent cinemas, arts festivals and other venues around Britain and Ireland this year. The English translation of CONCENTRIC CIRCLES by Brian Holton and Agnes Hung-Chong Chan was published by Bloodaxe Books in 2005. We filmed Yang Lian in London in 2007.
