Totally OT here, but are you familiar with a poet named Hai Zi? I
once read some translated fragments that knocked me out, but there
don't seem to be any book-length translations that I know of.
Apparently he committed suicide by walking on train tracks (naked,
carrying baskets of bread and oranges, as I remember the story).
