==Life and career==
According to Matthew Rohrer's profile on Yau from ''Poets & Writers Magazine'',〔Poets and Writers Magazine (2002) 30:3 pp. 24-31〕 Yau's parents settled in Boston after emigrating from China in 1949. His father was a bookkeeper.〔Dictionary of Literary Biography, v. 234: American Short Story Writers Since WWII, p. 307〕 As a child Yau was friends with the son of the Chinese-born abstract painter John Way. By the late 1960s Yau was exposed to, "a lot of anti-war poetry readings in Boston () so I'd heard Robert Bly, Denise Levertov, Galway Kinnell, people like that. I don't know - Robert Kelly (poet) just seemed a different kind of poet. Mysterious, in a way. He was interested in the occult, in gnosticism and abstract art - things that had a particular appeal to me."〔Reference required〕 According to Rohrer, Yau's decision to attend Bard College was motivated by his admiration of Kelly.
Yau's most recent books are "Egyptian Sonnets" (Rain Taxi, 2012), ''Exhibits'' (Letter Machine Editions, 2010), ''A Thing Among Things: The Art of Jasper Johns'' (Distributed Art Publishers, 2009),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Yau in Conversation with Phong Bui )〕 and ''The Passionate Spectator: Essays on Art and Poetry'' (University of Michigan Press, 2006).
