Chinese poems translated by a Chinese scholar,
By Joe Anthony "Joe Anthony" (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Songs of the Immortals: An Anthology of Classical Chinese Poetry (Penguin Poetry) (Paperback)
This is my first book of Chinese poems translated by a Chinese scholar. The selections are quite interesting, as I came across many poems and poets I didn't know before. Many of the love/lost love poems are quite intense: "Lament of the Autumn Fan" by Lady Ban, "The Deserted Lover" by Li Qun-Yu, "Grief in Autumn" by Lu Lun, and most of all the "Phoenix Hairpin" poems by Lu Yu and his lost lover Tang Wan. There was also interesting social commentary such as "A Year of War" by Cao Dao-Rong, and "The Peaseants" by Li Shen.
Highly Recommended. Comparisons: Tony Barnstone, Kenneth Rexroth, Greg Wincup
