LIMERENCE is Yuan Changming's tenth and newest poetry book. In this short collection, which includes 47 love poems written mostly over the past year or so, the author not only explores but articulates his innermost feeling about a Platonic relationship, a subject which chinese poetry authors have tended to avoid since ancient times.
Limerence, Platonic love, soulmating or whatever else you call it, has always been a common psychological state, but few, and even fewer Chinese, poetry authors have given it a 'full' expression; that's probably why half of the poems included in this chapbook were soon accepted for publication by such as New World Writing, American Media, Private Photo Review, Botsotso, Mediterrean Poetry and the Temz Riview.
