A comprehensive anthology of Chinese poetry from the 12th century B.C. to the present. This magnificent collection has the effect of a complete library rather than of an anthology of poetry...A lyric quality comes through into our own language...Every page is alive with striking and wonderful things, immediately accessible. -Publishers Weekly Sunflower Splendor is the largest and, on the whole, best anthology of translated Chinese poems to have appeared in a Western language.-The New York Times Book Review This remarkably fine anthology should remain standard for a long time. -Library Journal ...excellent translations by divers hands. Open to any page and listen to the still, sad music... -Washington Post Bookworld
