“A Lifetime Is a Promise to Кеер”:
Artistic Expression and Resistance in the Work of Huang Xiang
Huang Xiang in conversation with Michelle Yeh, UC Davis Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures and translator of Huang Xiang's poetry
Labeled a dissident poet and artist, Huang Xiang, whose work is still banned in China, will offer an artistic performance and a reading from his new book, A Lifetime Is a Promise to Keep: Poems of Huang Xiang. The book, published by IEAS in 2009, contains an introduction to Huang Xiang and his poetry, as well as Chinese and English versions of his poems. Described by Michelle Yeh as "an irrepressible free spirit" sustained by his belief in life through the harrowing experiences of repression, he and his poems speak with vitality and intensity, with humility and gentleness.
Words and images intertwine as Huang Xiang offers a demonstration of his work in visual art.

Note, it is unfortunate that the photos of Huang Xiang’s conversation with Professor Michelle Yeh at Institute of East Asian Studies of the University of California, Berkeley, as well as photos of the event, seem to have been lost. These photos are of Huang Xiang signing books, as well as images from when he was invited by the chair of Pen American West Chapter to her house for a gathering, exchange, recitation, and impromptu calligraphy gifts with Western writers. There are also photos from after the event, touring San Francisco with Zhang Ling.
