 | The Selected Poems of Li Po by David Hinton, Li Po
Li Po is one of the preeminent poets of the High T'ang period, when Chinese poetry blossomed into full splendor. And Li Po's influence has spanned the centuries: the pure lyricism of his poems has made him a perennial favorite in China and Japan, and through Pound's translations, he became central to the modernist revolution. Li Po's work is suffused with Taoism and Zen, but they seem not so much spiritual influences as the inborn form of his life. He was called a wandering ecstatic, a Banished Immortal , and yet his poems always remain grounded in the everyday experience we all share. He wrote 1200 years ago, half a world away, but in his poems we see our world transformed. AUTHOR: David Hinton, Li Po
