Words Without Borders

Another favorite site. Words Without Borders, where there are numerous translations of literature from other languages into English. The site is dedicated to translations into English, as most translation moves the other direction---from English into other languages.

It's a great site. Check it out. Excerpts from a poem by Gu Cheng that I particularly liked:

The books slide down
Slide down onto my shoulders, my hands a little numb
The bird of my voice
Has no companion

The water offers its full lips
Pressing close to the bank, one kiss after another

Galaxies of light swim toward me
Threads of tiny algae-eating fish
Almost laughing
My hand opens wide like a net
Do I have no net?
