Book excerpt: National Book Award–winner Arthur Sze presents a one-of-a-kind anthology that vividly traces Chinese poetry from its centuries-old lyrical traditions up to the present day. In The Silk Dragon II, National Book Award–winning poet Arthur Sze presents a sophisticated vision of the vitality, diversity, and power of the Chinese poetic tradition. Traveling over one and a half millennia, Sze guides readers through a luminous history of verse, from the contemplative insights of fifth century poet Tao Qian, through Tang dynasty poets such as Wang Wei and Du Fu, and into subsequent centuries in which lived such innovative artists as Li Qingzhao and Bada Shanren, among many others. Extending the work from the original 2001 volume, The Silk Dragon II then traces classical Chinese poetry’s eruption into the free verse of the modern and contemporary eras, introducing groundbreaking poems by the Chinese Modernist master Wen Yiduo, as well as those from major living poets such as Wang Jiaxin, Zhai Yongming, and Xi Chuan. Through this remarkable journey—deepened by Sze’s personal introduction—we see that the “impossible task” of translation is yet rich with encounter, as both long-lost voices and those still speaking enter the same conversation, with the same vivacity.

Because of the lightning strike at Thanos, set off by Zandrax, half of King Halvards army has been killed. Half the population left at Thanos has been killed. Where did Zandrax run to after that dastardly blast? King Raymon of Heun is having serious trouble with his half-brother Gerald, who is his advisor. Should Raymon send his wife-beating brother away, dissolve his marriage, or is there an alternative? Spies are sent out to determine how much of the southern army is still in the northern realm. Can Slade and Janatar quietly spy out the southern territory and stay out of trouble? And in these troubled times, can Jandal and Felyana find happiness? Can Kalan and Altina really be in love? And what of Lord Darius and Dariella? Will they or wont they fall in love? How can only eighteen dragons help the war effort? King Halvard has the Seven Gods on his side, plus Lord Darak and his son, Lord Darius. And now the dragons. Zandrax has called up three demons from the Deep: Grogan, the shape-shifter; Karmac, the shade or shadow; and Whoron, the siren enticer. Will he too want a dragon? And where would he get one?

Book excerpt: The Weaving Maid wove robes of silk for Heaven, but when she met the Cowboy, she abandoned her loom to be with him. But Heaven would not allow this, and put the Milky Way in between them. Silk binds the lives of four girls from different generations with the fate of the Weaving Maid. Across a span of seventy-five years both in China and America, each girl shows the strength and courage of a dragon as she fights and sacrifices for the survival of her family and the pursuit of passion. In this masterfully woven conclusion to the series that includes two Newbery Honor Books, Dragonwings and Dragon’s Gate, award-winning author Laurence Yep brings the acclaimed Golden Mountain Chronicles full circle and pays tribute to the love of family, art, and heritage.

Book excerpt: Katla, idiot of idiots, last warrior of Lundr, should know better than to release a dragon. Sacrificing humans to keep the dragons away may be less bloody than war, but it's repulsive and cowardly. Real warriors fight their enemies head on. And that's exactly what Katla intends to do. Her plans go south when, instead of preventing the sacrifice, she frees a sleeping dragon and is kidnapped to his frozen castle. Between his speed and bestial form, escape would be hard enough. But the dragon is compassionate, too-and nothing slays a lonely warrior faster than a kindhearted grouch. Soon, Katla is trapped between raging factions of her own heart. Stopping the sacrifices will recommence an age-old war, one she and her peace-loving dragon would wage from opposing sides. Now that they have tamed each other, could they truly go back to being enemies? Icy curses, blood magic, and sassy banter collide as a heroic dumbass finds herself falling for a dragon shifter in this comedic and heartwarming romance.
