  1. Vibhu Vibhor Tiwari –

    A decent collection, but I found some of the translations a little dry. Still, a good overview of three important poets.

  2. Prerna Sharma –

    A truly wonderful collection! Seth’s translations capture the essence of these classic poems. I’ll be rereading this for years to come.

  3. Shobha Kiran –

    I enjoyed learning about Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Du Fu. The poems are lovely, but the book felt a bit short. I wanted more!

  4. Abhishek Prasad –

    This book opened my eyes to a whole new world of poetry. The translations are elegant, and the poets’ lives are fascinating. Highly recommended.

  5. Suchit Lamba –

    A beautiful introduction to Chinese poetry. Seth’s translations are accessible, though sometimes I wished for more historical context. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  6. Thakur Makhijani –

    I was hoping for more in-depth analysis. The poems are beautiful, but the commentary felt a bit superficial. Worth reading, but not groundbreaking.

  7. Tushar Choudhary –

    I loved it but wanted more poems from each poet to truly appreciate their journey.

  8. Adithya T R –

    Absolutely stunning! Vikram Seth brings these ancient voices to life. A must-read for any poetry lover. The poems evoked strong emotions.

  9. Saniya Sulthana –

    I loved reading about the history and lives of these Chinese poets. However, I wish the poems used more updated modern translation.

  10. Shlok Mohaley –

    While the poems are beautiful, I struggled with some of the cultural references. Perhaps some more footnotes would have been helpful.

  11. Vijaya Sunil Patil –

    Seth’s passion shines through. Some translations resonated more than others, but the collection is a gem. A great starting point for exploring Chinese poetry.

  12. Rahul Singh –

    I didn’t understand most of the cultural references. I wish the poems included notes for better understanding.

  13. Diya Jangir –

    The book provided great overview of the poets. The poems felt a bit dated.

  14. Devansh Saxena –

    Great intro to a great book but I was hoping the themes dove a bit deeper into the meaning.

  15. Kalamkar Pratik Purushottam –

    Translations were okay, but the writing style was too simple for my taste.

  16. Kumar Kartikeya –

    The poems were great and I like the little history bits included about each poet.

  17. Anita Bhengra –

    Good introduction, but I think this book needs maps for a reader completely unfamiliar with China.
