This anthology of poetry from the Sung Dynasty, translated into English, represents the golden age of the Tz'u period in the 10th-12th centuries AD. These translations of an important lyric form in Chinese literature strive to capture the phrasing and rhythms crucial to Tz'u. Organized by individual poets, the collection includes an introduction to symbols and allusions which enables the reader to discover references in specific poems. The text also contains biographies of the Chinese poets, a glossary of terms, and an historical chart of Chinese poetic genres.
Julie Landau is a writer whose translations have appeared in many journals and anthologies.
This is a beautiful and useful book of translations by Julie Landau of 150 Chinese lyric poems (tz'u) from the Sung dynasty (960-1279). Harvard Review As many readers will surely be, I am very grateful for Beyond Spring, which gives me an ancient poetry of which I had known nothing. Julie Landau's translations are exquisite, conveying these old poems with fresh poignancy, with clarity of image, and with a truly evoked 'essence beyond the image.' -- Richard Wilbur
