larryhammer: Chinese character for poetry, red on white background, translation in pale grey (Chinese poetry)
From: [personal profile] larryhammer
I really should get Holyoak's book. He's much better at translating these things than I am, enough so that he's the first translator to get me to wonder whether going 1 line to 1 line really is the best choice.

I have How to Read Chinese Poetry, as well as a couple other anthologies in the same series. They're really intended as classroom texts, but do work as reading with an intent to learn on one's own. And the translations are generally pretty darn good.

FWIW, Sayers has other lesbians other than the ones in Unnatural Death.
