BEAUTIFUL!!.......2006-01-18
Probably my favorite of the asian poetry books that I've read. Thanks for the compilation, Kenneth.
Unashamed, direct, honest, on par with women poets today........2000-07-16
This collection was a huge surprise. Unlike the steryo type of what women in China was like, subservient to husbands they are forced to marry, with little thoughts and feelings for themselves.
These women poets starting from 1644-1911, shout out thier love of thier partners, discuss drinking, sex, lust, romance, infactutation and even loving other women.
The metaphors are soft and light at the first reading, yet if you look deeper you realise some of the subjects are far from the softness the poetry is conveyed in.
A good histrical text on Chinese Women and a good read. As the previous reviewer said, buy two and give one to a friend.
One of the greatest collaborative translations ever.......1999-10-23
An exciting selection of poems by known and previously unknown women poets. Ling Chung's scholarship and sensitivity gave the late great Kenneth Rexroth the insight and inspiration to outdo himself here. Buy two copies and give one to a friend.
