Imperium by Jay Gao Every Little Sound this remarkable and crystalline collectionJay Gao's debut collection Imperium introduces a compelling innovative talent. These poems layer together formal experiments, lyric intensity and occasionally sardonic perspectives on the contemporary. His perspective is refreshingly original: he writes as a Chinese Scottish poet, critic and editor. He has published three pamphlets and is a contributing editor to The White Review. He divides his life between Edinburgh and Providence, Rhode Island.
