Publisher Marketing: Empty Chairs marks the first time that English language versions of Liu Xia’s poetry have been presented alongside the Chinese originals in one volume. Poems here chronicled have been drawn from over 30 years of Xia’s career and provide a unique insight into both the Chinese justice system and the fraught inner life of a woman living under duress.
