Summary: Tulips in an Alphabet is a poetry collection by Yingdalan poet and author Li Jinyu. The book is composed of 45 poems of varied length and style, emblematic of Li's literary style. The poems are broadly centred around themes of feminism, love, longing and human sexuality. Accordingly, Tulips in an Alphabet was initially controversial with many critics deriding its eroticism and explicit sexual imagery. Over time, however, the collection has been recognized as among Li's greatest works, and a highly influential text on the modern Yingdalan poetry of its era.
