| This stunning sequence of poems was inspired by a visit to the archaeological site of the terracotta warriors â more than 8,000 individually sculpted, life-sized soldiers and horses interred in 210 BC to accompany Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, into the afterlife. In this ideologically charged volume, Geddes gives voice to twenty-five of these compelling figures. They engage in debates about the abuse of power, the yin-yang dance of narrative and silence, and the sanctity of the idiosyncratic self in the face of conformity. Together, they form a marvelous history of the Qin dynasty. |
