Bill Porter (aka "Red Pine") is widely recognized as one of the
world's preeminent translators of Chinese poetry and religious
texts; he assumes the pen name "Red Pine" for his translations.
Writing as Red Pine, he was the first translator to ever translate
the entirety of Han-shan's oeurve into English, published as The
Collected Songs of Cold Mountain. Red Pine was also the first to
translate into English the entirely of The Poems of the Masters. He
has also translated several of the major Buddhist sutras, including
the Heart Sutra, Diamond Sutra, and Platform Sutra.
Winner of the 2018 Thornton Wilder Prize for Translation
"Porter takes the reader to places far off the tourist track and
far from the economic and political frenzy of major cities,
traveling on buses and sleeping rough in monasteries. He does it
without pedantry or zeal and with some humor." —Library Journal
