Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The author of six volumes of poetry she first became prominent in the mid-1980s with the publication of her twenty-poem cycle, "Woman," a work that forcefully articulated a female point-of-view in China's largely patriarchal society. Her powerful imagery and forthright voice resonated with many readers. She has continued to hone her critique of traditional attitudes towards women. Her translations of contemporary Chinese poetry have appeared in a number of literary journals and anthologies, including Sentence, Manoa and Full Tilt. She is also the translator of the novels Candy, by Mian Mian, and Farewell My Concubine, by Lilian Lee (Li Bihua). This spring she received a Pen Translation Fund Grant to translate Annie Baobei's 2006 novel, Padma.
