Blue-Green Algae Ning Ken and translated by James Trapp

Blue-Green Algae Ning Ken and translated by James TrappBlue Green Algae is nature. It is pretty and ugly, is us at our messiest, our most incongruous. In this meditation on flora and fauna on fire and failing relationships birds flee, and trees shiver whilst Arcadia grows ever more distant. Hope, however, springs eternal, and we may still have time. Just.
