PETER DALE SCOTT. Coming to Jakarta.
"A brilliant and devastating book. An autobiography that cat's-cradles
meticulously into world politics.... This is a rare difficult book that uses
precise poetry to evoke a map of the world where childhood lyric rubs
shoulders terribly with the dark gods of power."- Michael Ondaatje.

TU FU. The Selected Poems.
Trans. by David Hinton. "One of China's greatest poets.... any reader who
discovers Hinton's excellent translation will be moved by Tu Fu's clear
depiction of a world where war seems interminable. 'With such fine men
chasing ambition /everywhere. who can elude savage beggary)' he laments.
We may similarly lament that so little has changed in 12 centuries."
