Excerpt:
The voice of Xue Di in Another Kind
of Tenderness is so full, so complete, that it manages to emerge
whole from the poems even though they've been rendered into English by

voices they form a chorus that harmonizes with the singular voice of
the single poet.

remarkabe. In both Chinese and English, the language of the poems
swings between tautness and sentimentalism, and yet one poet's vocal
presence unites it all...
