Composed as a durational long poem, Xiaoxuan Huang’s debut moves through fragments, love letters, and lyric essays, where silence is not absence but active presence. Here, language stutters, hesitates, repeats—capturing the rhythm of desire, the dissonance of intimacy, and the complexity of speaking what resists articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning the thresholds of poetics and theory, the text uses spatial interruption and elliptical syntax to mirror the body’s halting attempts at connection. It is a work shaped by breath and time, where punctuation dissolves into pauses, and pages open like quiet rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once rigorous and tender, \u003cem\u003eall the time\u003c\/em\u003e invites the reader into a porous, recursive experience of reading—one that unfolds slowly, insistently, and with profound care. A love poem to time, to listening, and to everything language cannot hold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xiaoxuan Huang (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Metatron Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2026-03-22","offer_id":47342909915391,"sku":"9781988355764","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_bdd3ac7e-e2a3-451b-8003-0b048187b87b.jpg?v=1760110364","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781988355764","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
