Trade Review
"David Hinton's music is subtle, modulated, and does not slacken with either contemporary or classic. He has listened to the individual tone of each poet, and his craft is equal to his perception." -- Rosmarie Waldrop - citation for the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award
"David Hinton has managed to find his own way through the rivers and mountains of medieval Chinese verse re-imagining the poems themselves as subtle soundscapes suspended in us." -- citation for the PEN Poetry in Translation Award
"Wang's poetry possesses the power to transport the reader to another time and place." -- John Bradley - Rain Taxi
