Review of 'One Hundred More Poems from the Chinese ' on 'Goodreads'

It is, of course, impossible to know what these poems sound like, look like, how they scan, or rhyme if you can't read the original Chinese, but I found several of them to be excellent in Rexroth's translation, especially those of Tu Fu. Rexroth has notes at the end of the text that are helpful.
Also, many thanks to the other reviewers who took the time to show the original poems in Chinese with literal translations.
