8vo 8" - 9" tall; 212 pages; The voices of fourteen eminent Chinese poet monks whose works span twelve centuries (A.D.700 -1900) are here presented both in the original Chinese and in English translation. The collection includes 136 poems divided into six sections with translator introductions to each poet and his work. The poets in this book have been chosen by the translators for their insight into the human condition and for the beauty of their poetic expression. In presenting the work of six very talented translators, including Red Pine (Bill Porter), Burton Watson, and J. P. Seaton, this book provides any reader, novice or expert, with an appreciation and understanding of this elegant and traditional Chinese expression of spirituality.
