Poet-essayist Kenneth Rexroth (1905-1982) was a high-school dropout, disillusioned ex-Communist, pacifist, anarchist, rock-climber, critic and translator, mentor, Catholic-Buddhist spiritualist and a prominent figure of San Francisco's Beat scene. He is regarded as a central figure of the San Francisco Renaissance and is among the first American poets to explore traditional Japanese forms such as the haiku.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Authority on the subject, April 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: One Hundred More Poems from the Chinese : Love and the Turning Year (Paperback)
Rexroth was first introduced to me by my high school teacher while we were studying Chinese literature. At first, I couldn't quite understand what was so great about Chinese poems, why Li Po and Tu Fu, and many others are so greatly admired. After this, I've come to a much better understanding of Chinese literature in general, and a much greater love for it. I recommend this book to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well, actually, this is CHINESE poetry., January 17, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: One Hundred More Poems from the Chinese : Love and the Turning Year (Paperback)
Well, actually, this is CHINESE poetry. Really excellent translation. Rexroth was a great American poet, and ground breaker as a translator of both Chinese and Japanese poetry, and all his work is still worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful but weaker collection..., March 13, 2006
This review is from: One Hundred More Poems from the Chinese : Love and the Turning Year (Paperback)
I loved "One Hundred Poems from the Chinese" by Mr. Rexroth, and I thought then of course, I would want "More". And it is a very lovely collection of poems, tho I feel the stronger poems and poets were covered in the first book. The poems in "More" are very good, just not at the par of the first one.

I took a piece of the rare cloth of Ch'i, White silk glowing and pure as frost on snow, And made you a fan of harmony and joy, As flawlessly round as the full moon. Read the first page
