Trade Review
“The poems gathered here are tender and graceful in their attention to the natural world, poignant in their understanding of human lives, clear and yet mysterious in their allusiveness. This bilingual edition with valuable notes about each poem will be a treasure both to English speakers and to Chinese speakers.” —Alicia Ostriker, author of the Book of Seventy “These translations from the poetry of the great Sung Dynasty master achieve the impossible: they are fine poems in English that are also accurate in the "carrying over" of the songs, language to language, culture from culture, that is, indeed, translation. I welcome this book with enthusiasm, admiration, and boundless gratitude.” —Sam Hamill
