In addition to my visual work, I have been translating ancient Chinese poetry for over 10 years. Chinese Gate is a volume of my favorite translations. On the cover is one of my geometric designs.

Each of these books may be seen more closely by clicking on the image.

I Take Your Poems to the Mountains

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.
