Last night, a the Library of Congress, there was a reading from Push Open the Window: Contemporary Poetry from China, featuring two of the poets, Xi Chuan and Zhou Zan, as well Michael Wiegers of Copper Canyon Press, the anthology’s publisher. American poet Carolyn Forché, who read English translation Ms. Zan’s poetry on behalf of that poet.

It was a wonderful event, and apparently filmed for C-SPAN 2 and it’s BookTV programming on weekends.

I’d tell you more about the book itself, except that I have review of it coming out next month.
