Four New Poems

These four new poems by Xi Xi, written in late 2018 and early 2019, demonstrate the poet’s fondness for delighting in the mundane. With a sensitive and lighthearted touch, Xi Xi explores the quotidian in unexpected ways, finding whimsy in running errands at the post office, beauty in washing dishes in an alley, humor in a mischievous cat’s destructive behavior, and intrigue in the self-service laundromats that have sprung up around Hong Kong.
