lnhammer: the Chinese character for poetry, red on white background (Default)
[personal profile] lnhammer
    Still cold, still dripping,
the mountains still halfway white --
    but despite winter,
the birds sing loudly as if
the world is new, or reborn.


I'd gotten out of the habit of posting these. A bit of catching up.

About

Warning: contents contain line-breaks.

As language practice, I like to translate poetry. My current project is Chinese, with practice focused on Tang Dynasty poetry. Previously this was classical Japanese, most recently working through the Kokinshu anthology (archived here). Suggestions, corrections, and questions always welcome.

There's also original pomes in the journal archives.
