\u201c\u2018I rush down the stairs,\/ pull open the door,\/ dash about in the spring sunlight\u2026\u2019 So begins this exquisite collection of translations by Eleanor Goodman of poems composed over the past several decades by Wang Xiaoni. In what follows we are taken out into the streets and on cross-country trains, into villages, cities and markets; we peep out through the windows of the poet\u2019s home and sense the nostalgia invoked by a simple potato. Here is a poetry of the everyday, written in delicate yet deceptively simple language, and translated beautifully into its like in this first collection of Wang\u2019s work to appear in English. Something Crosses My Mind offers up the refreshing voice of a poet forging her own path, neither shunning the political nor dwelling in the lyrical but gently and resolutely exploring her world in her writing,\u201d write the judges of the Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize,\u00a0Lucas Klein, Janet Poole, and Stephen Snyder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
