About the author
Shui Qin is an author about whom little public information is available; the name appears so far only in the field of translated foreign poetry. Three works are held under this name, all selected translations of modern English-language poets: Wallace Stevens's "Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction," Ezra Pound's "Crossing the River of Forgetfulness," and W. H. Auden's "The Migratory Garden: 101 Auden Poems." The selections suggest an interest in several major twentieth-century poets of very different styles: Stevens's philosophical abstraction, Pound's imagism and historical depth, and Auden's intellectual and social concerns. Presented as anthologies, these translations show both poetic judgment and care in rendering verse into Chinese, offering readers a readable entry into modernist poetry. They are commonly classified under literature and foreign literature.
