“A rich human presence steps forth in these beautiful and moving poems—a sensibility both refined and precise, and intelligence both passionate and keen. This book enlarges our knowledge of the history of women’s writing, and of Chinese poetry’s particular and mysterious powers.”—Jane Hirshfield
From the Book:
You’re free and at leisure now
no company to distract you . . .
lie there in your bed
with books spread all around you
a little too happy to bother
rising to fix your hair.
—from “Curing Yourself When Lovesick”
