Falling in love with yourself can be difficult, with the exception being Narcissus, a figure in Greek mythology known to have fallen for his reflection. Contemptuous towards everyone but himself, the Greek youth realized he was his own true love. Whether he withered away in his longing or drowned in the pool of his reflection, Narcissus became the flower with delicate white and gold petals, staring at itself in the still waters. Like its namesake, Narcissus by Ariel Tsai reflects the human condition in all its most beautiful, mundane, and unpleasant forms.


Weaving together sharp insights, calculated rhythm, and immersive storytelling, Tsai uses poetry to guide us through growing up in New York and studying in Nanjing to experience the pain, love, vulnerability, and resistance she encountered. Her voice-unadulterated and sensual-sets a mirror on her foundational experiences and allows us to find resemblance in our own lives.


Narcissus captures human growth, for better or for worse, to reflect on what it means to love oneself- foolishly and wholeheartedly.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

An avid reader and literary critic, Ariel Tsai always knew she needed to write a book. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in English literature and criticism and Chinese language and literature, studying both in the United States and China. Her stylistic writing comes from a persistent itch to tell stories and understand the world around her. With sarcasm, wit, and keen observations (as an accomplished poet is wont to do), Tsai pours her ambition and heart into her writing. She harbors an undying love for symbolism, translation theory, and Honey Nut Cheerios, alongside a great deal of shame about her Anglophilic preferences in literature. John Milton and Philip Pullman are likely to blame.
