	Zhang Er: A Shimmering Window
		Modern Chinese poetry has over the past hundred years broken away from the forms of classical Chinese poetry, in a feverish search for a media that is more versatile to handle the swarm of new information, technology, and changed conceptions of the world after the encounter with the West.
		Their view of the Chinese language, as reflected by these writings in Chinese characters, is holistic: the images of things themselves, the human perception and understanding of things, and the human voices that name them.
		To say the poets selected for the anthology embrace this Chinese poetic tradition and aesthetics does not mean that these poets do not have other strategies or poetics at their disposal in their work, nor that the editors intend to define therefore restrict what these Chinese poetics and aesthetics represent.

		Never had anyone (including Chinese poets) prior to Pound recognized the distinctive structural features of Chinese characters, the special functionality of Chinese grammar, the philosophy and aesthetics as exhibited by classical Chinese poetry and these features' importance for literary creation in the modern world.
		I have to admit that all Chinese poets in the 20th century have been following Pound's path in taking an individualistic attitude towards language: what we have been doing is to transcend the unconscious use of language and reach conscious creativity.
		The juxtaposition of images in classical Chinese poetry is an extension of the spatiality of the Chinese characters and the abstractness of the Chinese language.

	Chinese Poetry after Mao, by Julia Lovell
		No such faith survived in younger poets, who veered either towards greater opacity and language games that betrayed a deep scepticism in poetry's potential for expressing collective meaning, or towards an anti- heroic, prosaic language aimed at mirroring the imperfections of ordinary life and undermining the lofty ideals of Misty Poetry.
		Exile poets have found themselves both helped and constrained by their politicised status in the West, which on the one hand increases their marketability and translation opportunities, but on the other gives them a limited artistic shelf-life, as readers search their writing above all for references to Tiananmen and the Cultural Revolution.
		The West's tendency to adopt the exile poets as international representatives of China has, moreover, fostered resentment amongst poets remaining in the Mainland, who accuse the exiles of pandering to Western fantasies about a repressive China and of neglecting questions of deeper artistic value.

		The classical language of the Chinese poets is rhythmical almost to an excess, though not inherently musical.
		Not only is the poet's sentiment grossly violated but there seems to be a total lack of understanding of the poem as a whole.
		In her preface to the Chinese section of Poetry of the Orient Eunice Tietjens seems to lament "the almost complete absence, after the very early days, of poems dealing with the love of man for woman".

		These are the Chinese poets we know of, the best-known ones, and maybe this is the reason why they are still read.
		The Chinese poets we still read wrote about all the seasons, but spring was by far their favorite: they praised it and mourned it simultaneously.
		The thousands of forgotten Chinese poets only praised it, thinking it wiser not to remind the temporal powers that they were temporary.

	Jacket 20 - Chinese poets
		Chinese poetry, because of its concrete written characters, is essentially different from poetry in English (or other phonetic writing systems); it is also certain that Chinese poetry is by nature magical and painterly.
		At present, in Chinese poetry, it is correct to say that the truest crisis does not come from politics or the political reactionaries, but from the imitators of spiritual epics, emptiness, affectedness and the lack of modern spirit will directly lead to the poverty of paper, robbing it of importance.
		Chinese characters (language) are not competent media; it would be a great mistake if you chose them as the carrier of your knowledge of the world.

	"A MIDDLE AMERICAN WATER TABLE" by Karl Young
		Chinese poets did not string out little rows of picture-words or graphic metaphors, as many westerners have assumed.
		Chinese dictionaries usually list characters according to radicals or stroke numbers, and unless you have some sense of stroke type and order, using reference works becomes problematic.
		Greater familiarity with the writing practice of Chinese, with its emphasis on logical sequencing of strokes, the reforming of radicals according to other components, etc. suggested possibilities for combining English word elements and the strokes of the Roman alphabet in different orders, in part according to Chinese principles of balanced asymmetry.

	OUT OF THE HOWLING STORM
		The book includes an essay by Barnstone on translation, short biographical sketches of each of the poets, and an introduction to the political history of China in the 1980s, interwoven with an explanation of the departure from Marxist literature found in the poetry of that period.
		And the stance of his short note on the subject of translation itself is a refreshing breath of fresh air, in keeping with the vitality of the poets themselves.
		In the essay Barnstone argues for the influence of Western modernism on the new Chinese poetry in part because it was already present in pre-liberation Chinese literature, and in part because traditional Chinese poetry at one time affected Western modernism (see Pound and Hulme); his logic here is sound....

		Responding differently to their common times, Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Du Fu crystallize the immense variety of China and the Chinese poetic tradition and, across a distance of twelve hundred years, move the reader as it is rare for even poetry to do.
		A translator has two options: to stay true to the Chinese characters and the structure of the original poem, or to stay true to what he feels to be the poetic message of the poem.
		These Chinese poets are no lesser poets than Shakespeare is. Translating their poems, the success of the translation must be measured by the extent to which the emotion can be released without destroying the sense of structure in the original poem.

	Jacket 23 - Eliot Weinberger: Rexroth From the Chinese
		Many Chinese poets, whether in exile or in Taoist or Buddhist retreat, had inhabited landscapes as dramatic and wild as those of the American West, and the poems they wrote had no equivalent in world literature, where nature tended to be domesticated or fearsome.
		Chinese poetry as a whole was a Balzacian human comedy from a distant place and time that ultimately didn’t seem so remote at all.
		Chinese poetry entered the American and, to a much lesser degree, English poetic consciousness at exactly the right moment to purge the rhetoric and moralizing of 19th century Romantic poetry and the even more moralistic, preachy poetry of the 90s.

		It was a common belief among classical Chinese poets that poetry and painting shared the same source of creativity (shi hua tong yuan), one that enabled them to transcend the mundane and capture the sudden revelations of visionary moments in a permanent form of beauty.
		In addition to shedding fresh light on the three poets' initial encounter with Chinese art, this part reconstructs the intellectual climate of London and New York in ways that valuably facilitate Qian's insight into the Western engagement with Chinese art in the early decades of the twentieth century.
		Qian argues persuasively that Pound was able to capture the sensibility of the original Chinese poems because he had been enlightened by his earlier encounter with Chinese art.
