In addition to my visual work, I spent about ten years translating ancient Chinese poetry. Chinese Gate is a volume of my favorite translations. On the cover is one of my geometric designs.

See Chinese Gate more closely by clicking on the image, and I Take Your Poems to the Mountains by clicking on the link below.

I Take Your Poems to the Mountains

Picture
In China there is a long history of poets responding to poems with poems of their own. In this book I take poems from T'ang Dynasty China that I have translated, and respond to them with poems of my own. https://www.blurb.com/b/4239272-i-take-your-poems-to-the-mountains
