About the author

Song Lin is a Chinese-language writer whose works span a notably wide range of subjects. Public information about her is limited, and her biographical details remain incomplete. Judging from the five titles held in the collection, her writing touches on modern poetry, classical verse, literary appreciation, world history, and inspirational personal growth. Among these, the Song Lin Poetry Selections in the Ivy Poetry Series (East China Normal University volume) and Orpheus Turns Back reflect a sustained engagement with modern poetry and poetic reflection, while The Commentary on the Classic of Mountains and Seas turns toward the rewriting of ancient texts and mythological traditions. The 1960s in America shows her attention to world history and social and cultural issues, whereas How to Become an Eloquent Speaker leans toward practical inspirational growth. Overall, her writing moves between poetic expression and informative narration, addressing literary readers while also serving general readers, and displaying a cross-genre, cross-thematic spirit of exploration.
