g026r is on page 50 of 150 of Women Poets of China

There are subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, differences in translation between the lines in the poems and the same lines when quoted in the notes. Combined with the difference in organization, I'm thinking that one of the listed editors/translators was responsible for the notes, and the other for the poems themselves.

g026r is reading Women Poets of China

Poems: arranged chronologically. Endnotes: arranged alphabetically. Editor: obviously hated readers.

Poem selection and translation seems OK to average. But the commentary is up there for some of the worst I've read.

Add "optimal" to the list of phrases and words I'm don't want to have to read again. (And that only took one chapter!)

Already sick of the phrases "blood warm" and "stutter-stop".
