The Selected Poems of Li Po
Like all Chinese poetry I am always a little confused. Is this good? I don't know, I enjoy reading it, the timeless nature of it is appealing, but as with most translated poetry I'm sure I'm only getting a fraction of the beauty here.

These are great, but sheesh I think I need someone to explain why Hinton uses the name Li Po instead of the more common Li Bai? I definitely was confused for a while.
