Love those books. My favorite Chinese translator as well. I’m meh on his original poems but I haven’t given them a serious look. I’ll circle back to them eventually. I also like the Classics Revisited and More Classics Revisited. A bunch of 3-5 pages essays on many famous books and I’m a sucker for writers on writers/books, one of my low key favorite genres if it is one. I’m a huge Lawrence fan but most of his poetry falls flat for me, though he does have some great ones. Snake is one of my all time favorite poems. Which collection does Rexroth do an intro for? I’ll eventually get Rexroth’s essay collection Outside the Window (?). From what I’ve seen he’s a pretty astute guy and I generally like what he has to say
