Abstract
June Dao Bei (bio) Translated by Ming Di and Frank Stewart Wind says into my ear: June.June is a blacklistI just missed. Be cautious of the ways we say goodbye,of the sighs inside words. Be cautious of words’ annotations:plastic flowersspread out on the left bank of death.The paved square that extendsfrom the action of writing to this very momentwhen I am trying to escapefrom writing,as dawn is hammeredlike a flag onto the surface of the sea and a loudspeaker, faithful tothe sea’s deep bass, announces: June 1996.6 [End Page 161] Dao Bei Bei Dao was born in Beijing and is one of the major poets of the Misty School in China.
