Review:

"Although Imagism, revolutionary in its time, gathered force from several classical traditions, Chinese poetry was at the forefront. Now, CROSSING YELLOW RIVER shows anew the vitality of of classic Chinese poetry. Sam Hamill's collected translations contains beautiful versions...."

Grace Schulman, Nation, 10/30/2000

Review:

"It is only now we come upon Sam Hamill’s welcome, lucid and compelling analysis of the problem with translating from the Chinese, dissection of the flaws of his translator-forebears, and collection of poems translated with the utmost integrity."

Contemporary Poetry Review, 2002
