I liked Ying Zhang from the moment he took part in Stone Soup's open mic a month ago, and his work (which he claims to have shared with very few people) impressed everyone in the audience. Little did I know he would be leaving us so soon back to his home in China. Luckily, I have room this month to give Ying a feature before he leaves us. Shortly after I offered him the reading, he informed me that a twenty-two page chapbook of his will be coming out from Copper Canyon Press. He may be leaving America forever after next Monday, but he's already left a literay footprint. Hopefully, this won't be the last time we hear from him.
