DESCRIPTION:
"As I walk in the cool of the autumn night" OwlSong Nearly 40 years ago, this rich volume was my introduction to the world of Chinese poetry and it remains a favorite to this day. Every page is an evocation of the ephemeral yet eternal beauty of life, the subtle yearnings & sorrows of the human heart, and the joys of friendship & poetry. For example, the same poet can say:There's a gleam of green in an old bottle,There's a stir of red in the quiet stove,There's a feeling of snow in the dusk outside --What about a cup of wine inside?And then:Her tears are spent, but no dreams come.She can hear the others. "Lao's review" according to Amazon Customer. The book starts with an excellent forward by Kiang Kang-Hu on the form and evolution of Chinese poetry. The poems themselves are alphabetized by author's name. The poets are also listed in one of the chronologies in the back of the book. Extensive notes on each poem are included in the last appendix. The Jade Mountain provides an excellent study of the poetry of this period.. "great poetry!" according to crow. as advertised, relatively good condition. great poetry book!
