"Profound compassion and unerring ear." -Jenny Xie, author, The Rupture Tense

In To the Tune, Jee Leong Koh asks Du Fu how poetry can take to the barricades, discovering bracing answers from ordinary citizens, media workers, political organizers, and protest songwriters. Koh's new book juxtaposes a series of searching epistolary poems and a collection of poem-songs that forcibly and tentatively lurch into existence, take on misguided titles, and beg for music to set them chanting and marching.
