I'm afraid while this list is helpful (thank you for compiling it!), there are some inaccuracies. For example, October Dedications is by ONE poet (Mang Ke, obviously) and not 'poets'. And not all the poems in the book are from the seventies, either.

Li Shangyin is referred to as Shangyin Li, Zang Di is called Di Zang, and Duncan Poupard is called Duncan Poupar. Please correct these mistakes.

Howard Goldblatt's translation / rewrite of Xiao Hong is called a "graphic novel". Is it really? Graphic novel means something else: "a fictional story that is presented in comic-strip format and published as a book" (Merriam-Webster).

Perhaps this should be added to the list? 100 short poems attribute to luo wanxiang (aka yan jun) during 2015-2016, translated by Matt Turner and Weng Haiying. http://www.subjam.org/archives/3825 pic.twitter.com/vkvDtnFpTQ

It's been 2 days & no corrections were made. In addition to the mistakes I mentioned, another translator noted that
@JeremyTiang's surname is spelt wrong. If you care about translation enough to publish this list, you should also care about presenting translators' names right.@qzpic.twitter.com/8bJy6G8KHC

I was focusing mainly on poetry. Now I have been told there are other mistakes in this list. Joel Martinsen's name is also spelt wrong. (Thank you,
@dylanleviking, for pointing that out.)@qz@echohuangy@dkopf@AShendrukpic.twitter.com/YSzW29MiEv
