SEA OF DEAD LAMBS
An essay on Yang Lian’s poem “Sea of Dead Lambs”
From Where the Sea Stands Still · poem translated by Brian Holton
This page presents a close-reading essay on “Sea of Dead Lambs” in two forms: a reading edition and a graphic edition.
The essay examines the winter sea as a scene of slaughter, tracing flesh as text, unheard cries and nourishment after death through the poem’s refusal of an ending.
