His new collection, At the Same Time, invites readers into a space where disparate times and cultures converge in luminous poetic dialogue.

Delicately attentive, they both witness the weight of history whilst exploring the transience of the everyday-a mode, perspective, a remedy to our disjointed times that only masterful poetry like this can administer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWang Jiaxin is a Chinese poet, essayist, and translator and has published\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emore than forty books.His work has had an important influence on Chi-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enese poetry and has been translated into many languages.
