Letter from George Elliott Clarke, Thanks!
My friends–and comrade poets/translators:
Anna Yin’s editorship of Mirrors and Windows (just published), an INTERNATIONAL anthology of poems that she has translated from English into Chinese and from Chinese into English is a landmark–an exquisitely rendered, intellectual/artistic touchstone–for the continued conversation between English (Canadian) poets and those of China that she has been singlehandedly enhancing (on the Canadian side) for at least a decade now.
Anna’s Poundian contribution to our mutual enrichment is graced spectacularly by poet-publisher Michael Mirolla of Guernica Editions, who not only agreed to publish this significant volume, but has graced it with a memorably elegant, yet plain cover–like the moon-over-water that so besotted Li Po. Once again, Guernica has served notice that it is an international heavy-hitter.
Mirrors and Windows arrived, thanks Guernica Editions!
《Mirrors and Windows/镜子与窗户》includes 39 accomplished English-language poets’ work with my Chinese translation, and 20 skilled Chinese-language poets’ work with my English translation. It provides various styles and topics from the work of a wide range of ages of modern poets of East and West. Thanks Guernica Editions for beautiful design! You can order the book on Guernica Editions now or on Amazon. Also thank WePoetry to promote it:【海外詩粹】星子安娜譯作精選|鏡子與窗戶
