Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-04 00:00:00 Lynda Johnson This book of poems begins with a thought-provoking 'comments from the editor', written by editor Tony Barnstone. His comments are titled 'Translation as Forgery' "The world, abstracted into language, is written into a poem which you read and abstract to fit your own experience." I love Chinese poetry, I'll think, but I shake my head and think, no, you like translated Chinese poetry. What about this? Short of learning Chinese, what should a person do? Barnstable: " Yet there is always the hope for the translator that, through concentration and dedication she or he might come to the point where the dead author guides the pen across the page like an invisible spirit moving the pointer on a Ouija board." I need to buy this book.
