300 Tang Poems is an anthology translated by David Lunde, Jerome P. Seaton, Michael Farman, Geoffrey Waters from Chinese, gathering Chinese-language poetry from China through Tang poetry as anthology, classical abundance, and the canonical pressure of three hundred poems asked to represent a world. Its value comes from chorus rather than singular authorship, so I would not treat it as one poet’s private weather. The better entrance is through Tang, canon, moon, and the gathered music of court, mountain, exile, and friendship. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave room for wandering, disagreement, and surprise. 300 Tang Poems belongs in the translated poetry library because it gives the library a foundational anthology of Chinese classical poetry. It gives a reader several doors into a tradition before asking them to choose only one.
