Lupke’s Xiao Kaiyu in Eratio

The new issue of E·ratio includes four poems by Xiao Kaiyu 肖开愚, as translated by Chris Lupke. Here’s a sample:

In answering a well-intentioned query, Milton
declared: “Oh Leader, vengeance!”
I asked him to emulate the scorched youths who
suffered so he could get the power they craved.

答應善良的請求,彌爾頓
呼籲過:“主啊,復仇吧!”
我要求他像燒焦的青年那樣
受難的人能夠請求到力量。
