Reviews
World traveler, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, and founder of Poetry Northwest , Kizer presents translations of hard-to-find international poets: e.g., Tu Fu (8th century A.D. China); Rachel Korn (contemporary Yiddish); M. Safdar Mir (Pakistan, translated from Urdu); Bogomil Gjuzel (Yugoslavia, translated from Macedonian); Edouard Maunick (French-African, from Madagascar); and Shu Ting (contemporary China). These carefully crafted translations are accompanied by an intimate prose journal of a trip to Pakistan (1969) and a poem of her own in tribute to Dennis Brutus, the exiled South African poet. In this mini-anthology, made of "sharply individual voices, but togetheran orchestra," Kizer broadens our Western self-preoccupation with her urbane vision.
