Praise for Your Face My Flag "There''s astonishing range to Julian Gewirtz''s Your Face My Flag , from technology''s dehumanizing fallout to the weaponizing of the weather itself, from the history of relations between China and the West to sexual cruising. The poems explore the blur of desire and politics, of intimacy and empire, and in so doing, they make not just a space for the erotic but an argument for the erotic as strange restive haven, as permission: ''Everyone who loves me/begs me not to do/the dangerous thing.//Only you would let me.'' I''m grateful for that--grateful, too, for the risks and provocations to which Gewirtz invites us in this resonant debut."-- Carl Phillips, author of Then the War: And Selected Poems, 2007-2020 "Gewirtz''s courageous collection of poems spans history, memory, and desire. It invents a language to describe the injustice and cruelty below the surface of the global economy and restore a humanity to its victims. These deep and allusive poems, in dialogue with Shakespeare and Whitman, are at the same time unflinchingly attentive to the present moment and what Gewirtz calls ''history on the loose''. Ultimately, his poems express what it might mean to be a human and a citizen in a world driven by the forces of unchecked technological advancement."-- Xiaolu Guo, author of the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Nine Continents "''The new world was my husband,'' writes Julian Gewirtz, "like a surgeon specializing in the removal of voice.'' These poems are uneasy relations between superpowers, studies in diplomacy and international trade made personal. Their sweep is historical; tone, erotic; mind, vast. In a world of invasive policing and artificial intelligence, Gewirtz makes a passionate case for our fragile human selves. It is an enchanting and affirming sensibility at work."-- D.A. Powell, author of Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys " Your Face My Flag is inflected with the inescapable desires that pulse through political urgencies, the contradictions in the laws of love, a self-aware lyric position. Gewirtz writes, ''To use a man for his shadow/ is to make a thing of him,'' a line that encapsulates the tender attention and thoughtfulness he brings to this complex subject."-- Carmen Gimenez Smith, author of Be Recorder Praise for Never Turn Back: China and the Forbidden History of the 1980s and Unlikely Partners: Chinese Reformers, Western Economists and the Making of Global China "Gewirtz''sbook [is] a gripping read, highlighting what was little short of a revolutionin China''s economic thought." The Economist "Gewirtz''saccount . . . is masterful: detailed, balanced, and illuminating . . . This isa revelatory account of China''s economic evolution, its debt to Westerneconomic thought, and its love-hate relationship with capitalism." PublishersWeekly, starred review "Aremarkable book, written with poise and confidence . . . and illuminates thebeginnings of an economic idea that would transform China and change theworld." Project Syndicate "Thisbook is... a tour de force on China, the theory of policy advising, and thehistory of economic thought, all rolled into one." Marginal Revolution "Providesa gracefully written narrative of the unusual experiments with mixing economicforms that facilitated China''s economic boom...Nicely crafted and carefullyargued." Los Angeles Review of Books "Gewirtzprovides a dramatic and freshly detailed account of the terrifying years from1976 to 1993, when China''s central leaders held their breath and pushed theircountry into the unknown by beginning to liberalize its economy." --ForeignAffairs, Praise for Your Face My Flag "There's astonishing range to Julian Gewirtz's Your Face My Flag , from technology's dehumanizing fallout to the weaponizing of the weather itself, from the history of relations between China and the West to sexual cruising.
