  There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

  This was an era of great powers: the vast territory of Persia, the military power of Sparta, the dominance of trade in Athens, the rising talents of Thebes, the ambitious Macedonia, the two powerful forces of the Western Mediterranean, and the flourishing Rome… 
  This was also an era of shining stars: 
  Agesilaus – the last king of Sparta 
  Epaminondas – the famous general who rose from Thebes 
  Philip – the founder of Macedonian hegemony 
  Dionysius – the tyrant of Syracuse 
  Camillus – the dictator who saved Rome 
  … 
  And this was also an era where hundreds of schools of thought vied for supremacy: the great philosopher Plato, the founder of the Skepticism Antisthenes, the Pythagoreans who considered numbers their sacred objects, the encyclopedic scholar Democritus, the father of Western medicine Hippocrates, the great playwright Aristophanes… 
  The protagonist is reborn through time and arrives in this era as a lowly mercenary. What will he bring to the world? 
  P/S: A historical military masterpiece.

  A resplendent life in sonnets from the author of Four-Legged Girl, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize 
   
   
   
  "The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without," Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss's working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of "beauty or relief." Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and—in a word—frank.

  There is a lot one can learn from the matured butterflies among us. You know the ones who survived the perilous larva stage without being eaten alive and completed the metamorphosis bruised but stronger for the experience. There is profound beauty in the potential wisdom and inspiration available from those matured butterflies willing to share the lessons acquired on their journey. Their observations through the lens of experience and their testament to the survivability of the most harrowing of life’s trials should ensure they are never without an audience.
