Review Quotes: For a wider audience, especially in this era of resurgent environmental verse, the day of the rural seer and sage may finally have arrived. Glenn Most's splendid new bilingual volume is, therefore, timely... It offers readers and scholars alike the most reliable prose translation and the richest supplementary materials available.--Richard Martin "New York Sun" (3/20/2007 12:00:00 AM)
