A Treatise on Stars
by Berssenbrugge, Mei-Mei       
(Paperback - English - 9780811229388)
A Treatise on Stars extends Mei-mei Berssenbrugge's intensely phenomenological poetics to the fiery bodies in a "field of heaven...outside spacetime." Long, lyrical lines map a geography of interconnected, interdimensional intelligence that exists in all places and sentient beings. These are poems of deep listening and patient waiting, open to the cosmic loom, the channeling of daily experience and conversation, gestalt and angels, dolphins and a star-visitor beneath a tree. Family, too, becomes a type of constellation, a thought "a form of organized light." All of our sense are activated by Berssenbrugge's radiant lines, giving us a poetry of keen perception g ..

Having Once Paused: Poems of Zen Master Ikkyau (1394-1481)
by Sojun, Ikkyu    Messer, Sarah    Smith, Kidder
(Paperback - English - 9780472052561)
The influence of Zen Master Ikkyū (1394-1481) permeates the full field of medieval Japanese aesthetics. Though best known as a poet, he was central to the shaping and reshaping of practices in calligraphy, Noh theater, tea ceremony, and rock gardening, all of which now define Japan's sense of its cultural tradition. Ikkyū is unique in Zen for letting his love of all appearance occupy him until it destroys any possibility for safety or seclusion. In his poetry, he turns the eye of enlightenment to all phenomena: politics, pine trees, hard meditation practice, sex, wine. A lifelong outsider to religious establishments, Ikkyū nonetheless accepted Imp ..

Awakened Cosmos: The Mind of Classical Chinese Poetry
by Hinton, David       
(Paperback - English - 9781611807424)
A deep and radically original exploration of Taoist and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhist wisdom through the lens of the life and work of Tu Fu, widely considered China's greatest classical poet. What is consciousness but the Cosmos awakened to itself? This question is fundamental to the Taoist and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhist worldview that shapes classical Chinese poetry. A uniquely conceived biography, Awakened Cosmos illuminates that worldview through the life and work of Tu Fu (712-770 C.E.), China's greatest classical poet. Tu Fu's writing traces his life from periods of relative normalcy to years spent as an impoverished refugee amid the devastation of civil war. Explori ..

The Crane: Selected Poems
by Yau, Noi    Liu, Xun    Clifton, Harry
(Hardcover - English - 9781910251959)
The Chinese poet Yau Noi, like many of his generation, has known two very different Chinas in the course of his lifetime. Born and raised on a small farm, he later came to experience the complexity of an increasingly urban world. Then as a young man in the late 1980s, he began to describe the profound changes taking place in China through those tumultuous years. br Influenced by surrealism and by the 'Misty' poets who resisted restrictions on art during the Cultural Revolution, Yau Noi's poetry describes distinct 'Before', 'During' and 'After' periods that are both a record of his own journey and that of his country. br "Chinese literature has always been a ..

A Shaman's Lament
by Yuan, Qu    Pine, Red   
(Paperback - English - 9781734187373)
Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. Translated by Red Pine. Before Qu Yuan (340-278 B.C.E.), poems in China read as if they could have been written by anyone. Qu Yuan changed this. It was his voice. He was a poet. Wang Wei once said he never traveled anywhere without taking two books with him: the Vimalakirti Sutra, from which he took his own pen name, and the poems of Qu Yuan. He wasn't alone. It's hard to find any Chinese poet of the past whose verse wasn't affected, if not inspired, by what Qu Yuan wrote and by the way he used language, his rhythms and his voice. ..

The Language We Were Never Taught to Speak: Volume 21
by Lau, Grace       
(Paperback - English - 9781771835879)
The poems in The Language We Were Never Taught to Speak explore the many identities, both visible and invisible, that a body contains. With influences from pop culture, the Bible, tech, and Hong-Kongese history, these pieces reflect and reveal how the stories of immigrants in Canada hold both universal truths and singular distinctions. From boybands that show the way to become "the kind of girl a girl could love" to "rich flavours that are just a few generations of poverty away," they invite the reader to meditate on spirituality, food, and the shapes love takes. ..

Bloom & Other Poems
by XI, Chuan    Klein, Lucas   
(Paperback - English - 9780811231374)
Bloom and change your way of living, Xi Chuan exhorts us. Bloom unleash a deep underground spring with your rhizome. In his wildly roving new collection, Bloom & Other Poems , Xi Chuan, like a modern-day master of the fu -rhapsody, delves into the incongruities of daily existence, its contradictions and echoes of ancient history, with sensuous exaltations and humorous observations. Problems of mourning and reading, thoughts on loquaciousness, Manhattan, the Luxor Temple, and socks are scrutinized, while in other poems we encounter dead friends on a visit to a small village and fakes in an antique market. At one moment we follow the river's flow through the his ..

Cathay
by Pound, Ezra    Qian, Zhaoming   
(Paperback - English - 9780811223522)
First published in 1915, Cathay, Ezra Pound's early monumental work, originally contained fourteen translations from the Chinese and a translation of the Anglo-Saxon poem "The Seafarer." Over time, these poems have been widely read and loved as both translations and original poetry. In 1916, Cathay was reprinted in the book Lustra without "The Seafarer" and with four more Chinese poems. Cathay is greatly indebted to the notes of a Harvard-trained scholar Ernest Fenollosa. "In Fenollosa's Chinese poetry materials," Pound scholar Zhaoming Qian writes, "Pound discovered a new model that at once mirrored and challenged his developing poetics." Edited by Qian, this c ..

My Name Will Grow Wide Like a Tree: Selected Poems

Wild Grass
by Lu, Xun    Yang, Xianyi    Yang, Gladys
(Paperback - English - 9789629961244)
A towering figure in the literary history of twentieth-century China, Lu Xun has exerted significant and continuous influence through his short stories, which remain as powerful today as when first written. Echoes of these stories are audible in fiction from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.Like many Chinese intellectuals searching for a solution to China's problems, Lu Xun went to Japan to study medicine, which he later abandoned for a career in writing. As a writer he hoped to be a far more effective weapon in the effort to save China. A prolific author of pungent and "dagger-like" essays, Lu Xun was also a tireless translator of Western critical and literary w ..

Iron Moon: An Anthology of Chinese Worker Poetry
by Goodman, Eleanor       
(Paperback - English - 9781945680038)
"Iron Moon is a monumental achievement. It redraws the boundaries of working-class poetry for the new millennium by incorporating at its center issues like migration, globalization, and rank-and-file resistance. We hear in these poems what Zheng Xiaoqiong calls "a language of callouses." This isn't a book about the lost industrial past; it's a fervent testimony to the horrific, hidden histories of the 21st century's working-class and a clarion call for a more cooperative and humane future."--Mark Nowak, author of Coal Mountain Elementary Eleanor Goodman is a writer and translator.

Written in Exile: The Poetry of Liu Tsung-Yuan
by Tsung-Yuan, Liu    Pine, Red   
(Paperback - English - 9781556595622)
After a failed push for political reform, the T'ang era's greatest prose-writer, Liu Tsung-yuan, was exiled to the southern reaches of China. Thousands of miles from home and freed from the strictures of court bureaucracy, he turned his gaze inward and chronicled his estrangement in poems. Liu's fame as a prose writer, however, overshadowed his accomplishment as a poet. Three hundred years after Liu died, the poet Su Tung-p'o ranked him as one of the greatest poets of the T'ang, along with Tu Fu, Li Pai, and Wei Ying-wu. And yet Liu is unknown in the West, with fewer than a dozen poems published in English translation. The renowned translator Red Pine discovered ..
