The 36 Days I Roam: A Long Poem and a Series of Paintings by artist, Cui Jinzhe, is a multi-media art collection comprising of different art mediums including painting, poetry, prose, and consisting of 38 original artworks and one long narrative poem.

In the book, the author draws upon elements of her Chinese heritage, many of which, such as, symbols, idioms, etc, are present throughout the book.ย 

She utilizes narrative poetry to reveal a powerful story behind each painting. The stories are simple and yet complex. The imagery is vivid and often symbolic. The paintings themselves prompt self-reflectionย and deep thought.

True to traditional Chinese book form, the book is formatted to be opened and read from left to right, meaning that the standard last page is actually the first page and vice versa. Though, readers may choose to start the book from either page, depending on their inclination or if they feel creatively inspired to do so.

Its unique format and style make the book easy to be held within both palms, encouraging reflection and contemplation in readers. Each blank page within the book is meant to inspire creativity; on these blank pages, one can draw, write, paint, or simply let their imagination run wild.

Excerpt from The 36 Days I Roam: A Long Poem and a Series of Paintings by Cui Jinzhe:

โ€œAt dawn

when the moon is lowered

the sun is bursting out

from the horizon

of the Impermanence Art Wonderland

the 24 creators living on the ninth to twelfth levels

focus on their creation with ecstasy

Each creatorโ€™s artwork

generates one solar term

in the human world

The universe connects these 24 solar terms

to outline the whole year of the human world

completely

Things are naturally born

and die

in their orders โ€ฆโ€
