I’ve compiled a list of the poets whose work appears in English translation in Jade Ladder<\/a><\/em>, the new anthology of contemporary Chinese poetry edited by Yang Lian<\/a> \u6768\u70bc, W N Herbert<\/a>, Brian Holton<\/a>, and Qin Xiaoyu \u79e6\u6653\u5b87. The anthology presents the work of poets by birth year, but the work is separated into sections–lyric poems, narrative poems, neo-classical poems, sequences, experimental poems, and long poems–so I’ve put together this alphabetical list of the poets represented. Poets in bold (23, by my count) are those not included in the recent Copper Canyon anthology, Push Open the Window (<\/em><\/a>of whom 19 of the 49 are not included in JL<\/em>; click here <\/a>for that anthology’s table of contents). Also, since Jade Ladder<\/em> is English-only, I’m not sure of every poet’s name in Chinese, and consequently have left some blank. If you know, or spot any other errors, let me know.<\/p>\n
