A book about reading women's poems, rather than forming theories about them.

Sure to delight and inspire, this elegant anthology of translated Chinese Poetry features treasured poems, presented simply and elegantly, encased in a deluxe foiled cover, that both chronicle and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of China.
African poetry is unique in its complexity, both because of its linguistic diversity and the devastating impact of colonialism and slavery. The collection includes a mix of poetry -humorous, celebratory, thoughtful and angry - and above all is a look at the history of Africa through the voices of those who lived through it.
