"Succeeds very well in conveying the flavor of Chinese poetry." --John S. Major, Former Directory of the Asia Society's China Council

"This book's aim is to make fifty-seven of the greatest Chinese poems come alive for the Western reader. It presents the poem in a new way that brings the reader face-to-face with their original Chinese texts, and the worlds of the poet who wrote them" --Greg Whincup, from the Preface
