Stephen Mitchell: The Translator as Artist

Over the past 25 years, poet Stephen Mitchell has emerged as one of the great translators into English of fundamental, spiritual works. Beginning with his work rendering Rilke into lucid English, Mitchell has expanded his horizons into Eastern Philosophy ( His translation of the Tao Te Ching has become the standard), the epic, and the Bible. He has also revealed himself to be a world class editor and, delightfully, a children's author. Here are the essential texts.
