5.0 out of 5 stars
Due credit to the translators, please,
This review is from: Landscape over Zero (New Directions Paperbook, 831) (Paperback)
Without the brilliance of David Hinton and Yanbing Chen we wouldn't know, we couldn't know how great Bei Dao is. Bei Tao may be China's first Noble Laureate in Literature. If so he'll have these fine translators to thank for making his work so convincingly available in a major Western language.

With the Intensity of a Star,
By A Customer
This review is from: Landscape over Zero (New Directions Paperbook, 831) (Paperback)
Bei Dao's poems gleam like white dwarfs. Each poem bears the intense pressure of its own inner light. They are compressed songs, wrestling with terror and beauty, politics, metaphor, home, exile. The poems exist in that moment of being on the verge, an expectancy. They exist in that moment of waiting that can only be human hope, ready to glow despite the forces that try to thwart it.
