Book review
The poets translated here—Wang Wei, Li Bai and Du Fu—are among the greatest literary figures of China, or indeed the world. Responding differently to their common times, these three poets of a single generation crystallize the immense variety of China and the Chinese poetic tradition and, across a distance of twelve hundred years, move the reader as it is rare for every poetry to do.
