Description
The Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 AD) is considered to be China's Golden Age of Poetry, and My China in Tang Poetry is a personal celebration of the genius of the Tang poets by writer, teacher and translator Susan Wan Dolling. She provides a feast of new translations of the poems, accompanying them with explanations of the meaning and context of each with an unparalleled depth of knowledge and understanding, as well as an enthusiasm that is infectious. To her, the poems are not only the epitome of culture and art, but also a store of stories and images that remains relevant today.
Volume One, Superstars, selections from the two giants of Tang poetry, Li Bai, aka Li Po, and Du Fu, aka Tu Fu. These new translations of their poems are arranged thematically, with historical background, allusions, and this translator's readings imbedded into the stories they tell.
