The Selected Poems of T'ao Ch'ien

Tao Chien

T'ao Ch'ien, (365 – 427, C.E.), one of the most revered poets in classical Chinese literature, is presented in a lucid translation with an introduction. «David Hinton is one of the most impressive of the younger translators of classical Chinese poetry.... His renderings are varied and imaginative while remaining faithful to the spirit of the original.»–Burton Watson
