Trade Review
""Pound, transcreating Chinese poetry in English, seems to have anticipated that making it new in our endless, inescapable present would increasingly mean returning to the old."" -- Pankaj Mishra - The New York Times Book Review
""With the vers libre of Cathay, T. S. Eliot famously observed, Pound had become "the inventor of Chinese poetry for our time." " -- Richard Sieburth
