Could you tell us a bit about yourself, how you came to learn Chinese and start translating?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

I attended an arts high school, where I majored in Creative Writing, and we were encouraged to read as many books of poetry as we could get our hands on, so I spent a lot of time in the school library. One day, I stumbled upon Kenneth Rexroth\u2019s One Hundred Poems from the Chinese<\/em>, which then led me to One Hundred More Poems from the Chinese<\/em>, and then two volumes he co-translated with Ling Chung: Women Poets of China<\/em> and Li Ch\u2019ing-chao: Complete Poems<\/em>. On the same shelf, I also found Rexroth\u2019s One Hundred Poems from the Japanese<\/em> and One Hundred More Poems from the Japanese<\/em>, as well as David Young\u2019s Five T\u2019ang Poets<\/em>. I fell in love with these poems and wanted to be able to read them in their original languages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
