漢詩英譯 (hàn shī yīng yì) Chinese Poetry in English Verse

A brief collection of my attempted English renditions of selected Chinese poems, both contemporary and classical.

(But I may not have the time to respond to every comment.) I am a follower of Andrew W F Wong's excellent blog "Classical Chinese Poems in English".
