Synopsis:
A special Shambhala library hardback edition. The incomparable poetry of Han Shan, or Cold Mountain, and his sidekick Shih-Te, the rebel poets who became icons of Chinese poetry and Zen, newly translated by J.P.Seaton.
These legendary figures of Chinese literature and Zen - portrayed as the laughing, ragged pair who left their poetry on stones, trees, farmhouses, and the walls of the monasteries they visited and then disappeared into a cave forever - expressed in the simplest verse but in a completely new tone, the voice of ordinary people.
In this book Seaton takes a fresh look at these captivating poets, along with Wang Fan-chih, another outsider poet who lived a couple of centuries later and who captured the poverty and gritty day-to-day reality of the common people of his time. Cold Mountain Poems is a vibrant, wide-ranging collection that will immediately resonate for the contemporary reader. |
