"Six poets each from India and China and six poems from each poet, all poems jointly translated: new voices, familiar faces in a new guise, a gallimaufry of the right words in the right order. For teachers and researchers of translation there are PhDs by the dozen here, on the how, the why, and the what of it all. For poetry lovers there is more than the usual ration of delight and surprise, of the catch in the throat, the gasp of recognition, the laugh or the sob that tells you this is the real thing you're reading. This is the new world, the sound of globalisation, waiting for you. When two leading international poets like Sudeep Sen and Yang Lian join their vision and skill to produce an anthology like Himalayas, you get a cracker of a book! " -BRIAN HOLTONFeaturingfrom India: Ranjit Hoskote, Jennifer Robertson, Sudeep Sen, Ravi Shankar, Arundhathi Subramaniam, C P Surendran.from China: Zang Di , Yang Lian , Yan Rong , Dai Weina , Yang Xiaobin , Wang Ziliang .
