The Pearl River Collection — Forward and Acknowledgements
By Nancy Fray, translator and calligrapher of The Pearl River Collection, Selected Poems of Tommy Gee
When Tommy Gee and I first met, I had been studying Calligraphy for three years. I was being taught to copy the classic Tang poems with a brush in Li Shu style. I wanted to compose something different – something that would stand out. I also was beginning to study Mandarin and was curious to understand exactly what I was writing. We talked about translating some of his poems to further my education. As this project progressed, I realized that I wanted to introduce his beautiful poetry to English speaking readers. We decided to proceed with this book.
