Somewhere between Mao's revelation of the use of the vast Chinese masses, and between Colonel Sanders and Steve Jobs' revelation of the same masses and their use, nothing happened. The masses died, mostly, quickly in battle or slowly by toxins, and the wisdom of monks in the caves stayed the same. The masses and the monks in their caves play an ancient game in Marc Vincenz verses, a complex game of poetry Go, born of the poet's encounter with real people who are at the same time a mass. China's paradoxes breathe in his poems.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Andrei Codrescu\u003c\/b\u003e, poet, novelist, essayist and screenwriter \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent,\" says Mao. Marc Vincenz uses the Chairman as a guide in this Dantesque tour of China. A book that registers bewilderment and grit, a book that does not turn away.
