We are thrilled to announce that VESSELS, an exquisitely beautiful poetry collection by Chinese poet Ningli Deng, is forthcoming from Wind&Bones Books in 2027.

Intense and textured, Ningli Deng’s poems explore some of the largest of questions through the smallest of details — a jar of greengages, a cup, scaled fish, the spiny shell of jackfruit sliced open to reveal the muscular flesh beneath. This first book-length collection of Deng’s poems in English is published in a bilingual Simplified Mandarin / English edition. Here’s a sample.
