Poetry. Asian Studies. ANOTHER KIND OF TENDERNESS includes translations by Keith Waldrop, Forrest Gander, Stephen Thomas, Ted Deppe, Sue Ellen Thompson with Hu Qian, Wang Ping, Hil Anderson, Waverly, and Iona Crook. "Xue Di's poetry is at once fierce and tender. The poems in this collection are charged with ambient details, each one so chosen out of desire and the impossible need to articulate the beloved throughout the perceptual world. The translations are stunning. This is gorgeous work"-Peter Gizzi.
