More about the book

The anthology showcases the profound influence of classical Chinese poetry on Modern American poetry through translations by notable poets like Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and Gary Snyder. It uniquely presents multiple translations of the same poems, highlighting the art of translation itself. Featuring around 250 poems from nearly 40 poets, the collection includes previously uncollected works and essays by the translators, along with biographical notes that intertwine insights from both American and Chinese poets. Weinberger's introduction provides essential historical context.
