Trade Review
This is a beautiful and useful book of translations by Julie Landau of 150 Chinese lyric poems (tz'u) from the Sung dynasty (960-1279). Harvard Review As many readers will surely be, I am very grateful for Beyond Spring, which gives me an ancient poetry of which I had known nothing. Julie Landau's translations are exquisite, conveying these old poems with fresh poignancy, with clarity of image, and with a truly evoked 'essence beyond the image.' -- Richard Wilbur
