Trade Review

"[An] outstanding monograph….this book is not ‘just’ about poetry, and lives up to the expectations raised by its focus on the online world, and wider issues at the confluence of culture, economy, media, and politics in the conjuncture of twenty-first-century China."

-- Maghiel van Crevel * Asiascape *
