Letter from Amy Lowell to John Gould Fletcher ; July (1920).
Basil Hall Chamberlain's translations of Japanese poetry are quite as bad as [Herbert A.] Giles's of Chinese, and there is no sense in my using translations which have absolutely no flavor of the originals. Also do you know anywhere that I could find biographical material on Chinese and Japanese poets ? I should be terribly grateful if you could help me in this matter. You know so much more about it than I do, and you are the only person who has ever, to my mind, really explanation where-ever I have had occasion to refer to that form, and here let me tender my thanks.
