A Full Load of Moonlight is an anthology translated by David Lunde, Mary M. Y. Fung from Chinese, gathering Chinese-language poetry from China through Chinese moonlight gathered as anthology, shared radiance, and the cross-temporal lyric habit of looking upward. 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 moonlight, fullness, song, and the way a recurring image becomes a tradition’s common lantern. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave room for wandering, disagreement, and surprise. A Full Load of Moonlight belongs in the translated poetry library because it offers an anthology of Chinese lyric brightness, reflection, and gathered voice. It gives a reader several doors into a tradition before asking them to choose only one.
