Flag of Permanent Defeat
A work of defiance, Ouyang Yu's most recent bilingual collection gathers much of his experimental work, with some of the poems collected in this book dating as far back as late 1982.
An exploratory mixture of sound poetry, asemic poetry, photograph poetry, conceptual poetry, found poetry, and pinyin poetry, Ouyang's latest collection flows in a seamless mixture of Chinese and English, with some of his most interesting poetry yet.
'Yu brings a refreshing oddness to the oddness of Australian poetry...' — Michael Farrell, The Australian

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
