About this book
"The Silk Dragon presents the vitality, diversity, and power of the Chinese poetic tradition, ranging from such Tang dynasty masters as Wang Wei, Li Po, and Tu Fu to contemporary poets Wen I-to and Yen Chen. Although Sze calls translation an "impossible task," his introduction nevertheless provides a unique glimpse into exactly how he translates a poem - from the first rough, literal draft to the finished poem."--BOOK JACKET.
