Were honored to announce our newest poetry acquisition! Graywolf Picks Up ‘Empty Chairs’ Peter Bernstein at Bernstein Literary closed a deal with Jeff Shotts at Graywolf Press for world rights (excluding China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) to Empty Chairs: Selected Poems, by Liu Xia. The collection presents the haunting poetry of the artist and activist, who is still under strict house arrest since her husband, 2010 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Liu Xiaobo, was imprisoned. The book, to be published in fall 2015, will include approximately 60 poems spanning Liu’s career, in the original Chinese alongside English translations, with several of her original black-and-white photographs. Also included will be an introduction by formerly imprisoned Chinese author Liao Yiwu, and an afterword by translators Ming Di and Jennifer Stern.
