Review for Imminent Ferns
Imminent Ferns is a collection of thought provoking and insightful poetry
written by Chinese author, Sha Yan. While English is Sha Yan's second
language, he has the rare gift of setting onto paper the simple events,
common to all of us, in such a way that many of his words will strike a
chord with his thoughtful readers. Although, because of the language
barrier, some of the beauty and insights of Sha Yan's thoughts were lost, I
found several poems that held within their lines, shining jewels of insight
and beauty. I loved the final line of That Feminist Calls Upon Me that
reads:


"One day I woke up

looking at the poster on my wall

it was old I thought

maybe I would sell it."


And the profoundly simple line at the end of Whine, Lost and Found:

"Yes, I lost my poetry book,

But I did not loose myself."


I laughed aloud at the line in Seven Days in a Week:

"So,I found living without money is very boring."


One of my favorite lines in the book came from Mountain Home Mischief:

"Men descend

from grave to grave

and women cheer

while picking strawberries

pretend happiness in the grief."


And finally, this jewel from Intentions Clay:

"When twilight

Twilight shines

You spare some moments thinking

I would like to shine sometimes too

Why not, after all, you are human being."


I thank Sha Yan for sparing some moments to shine through this work of
poetry.
