Praise for David Hinton’s Chinese poetry translations “He continues to enlarge our literary horizon.” ―Rosemary Waldrop, citation for the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award “Given the magnitude of his ability and his overall project, Hinton is creating nothing less than a new literary tradition in English, an event of truly major importance not only to English literature but also to the literature of my own language. I cannot recommend the value of his work too highly.” ―Bei Dao “Hinton’s achievement is a gift to our language.” —W. S. Merwin “David Hinton is the best English-language translator of classic Chinese poetry we have, and have had for decades.” —The American Academy of Arts and Letters “He has been building, translation by translation, an English language for the Chinese conceptual world.” —The New York Review of Books
