titel: House Poem

adresse: Sampsonia Way, Pittsburgh PA, USA

+: «The Chinese dissident writer was the first writer-in-residence on Sampsonia Way. After years of imprisonment and censorship in his native China, Xiang was given the freedom to write in Pittsburgh. Soon after he arrived, Xiang began covering the exterior walls with his poems, rendered in the Grass Style of Chinese calligraphy (Xiang is also a master calligrapher). Eventually, the whole house became covered with his poems, a joyful testament to his freedom to write without fear of persecution.»
