Descriere magazin:
Classical Chinese poetry reached its pinnacle during the T\'ang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.), and the poets of the late T\'ang-a period of growing political turmoil and violence-are especially notable for combining strking formal inovation with raw emotional intensity. A. C. Graham\'s slim but indispensable anthology of late T\'ang poetry begins with Tu Fu, commonly recognized as the greatest Chinese poet of all, whose final poems and sequences lament the pains of exile in images of crystalline strangeness. It continues with the work of six other masters, including the "cold poet" Meng Chiao, who wrote of retreat from civilization to the remoteness of the high mountains; the troubled and haunting Li Ho, who, as Graham writes, cultivated a "wholly personal imagery of ghosts, blood, dying animals, weeping statues, whirlwinds, the will-o\'-the-wisp"; and the shimmeringly strange poems of illicit love and Taoist initiation of the enigmatic Li Shang-yin. Offering the largest selection of these poets\' work available in English in a translation that is a classic in its own right, Poems of the Late T\'ang also includes Graham\'s searching essay "The Translation of Chinese Poetry" as well as helpful notes on each of the poets and on many of the individual poems. About the Author: Angus Charles Graham (1919-1991) was born in Penarth, Wales.
