I Think Again of Those Ancient Chinese Poets by Tom Sexton; University of Alaska Press, Fairbanks, Alaska, 2011; 60 pages, trade paperback, $14.95. In Tom Sextons lyric world, simplicity is an essence. In most of his poetry, as shown in I Think Again of Those Ancient Chinese Poets, simple events and images unfold in simple, straightforward diction. These characteristics also appear in much Chinese poetry, from ancient to recent times, but theyre extremely hard to convey authentically and forcefully in translations, never mind in imitations. In fact many translations and most imitations are pathetic failures.
