For a Song and a Hundred Songs: A Poet's Journey Through a Chinese Prison by Liao Yiwu. In June 1989, news of the Tiananmen Square protests and its bloody resolution reverberated throughout the world. A young poet named Liao Yiwu, who had until then led an apolitical bohemian existence, found his voice in that moment. For a Song and a Hundred Songs captures the four brutal years Liao spent in jail for writing the incendiary poem "Massacre." (06/17/13)
