Something Crosses My Mind (Chinese: 有什么在我心里一过) is a collection of poetry by Wang Xiaoni, with Eleanor Goodman as the translator. It was published in 2014 by Chinese University of Hong Kong Press in Hong Kong,[1] and Zephyr Press in the United States.

This was the first book with translations of Wang Xiaoni's work in English. The material originated in the period 1980-2011, with poems arranged by date. An introduction by Goodman is included.[2]

Xu Bing made the cover, which depicts crops.[1]

Reviewer Marthine Satris wrote that the work "showcases the attitudes of resistance and self-preservation [Wang Xiaoni] cultivated to survive in a changing China."[3]

Amy Russell, in the South China Morning Post, gave the book four of five stars.[1]
