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 almost too immense to talk about ..." writes Liu Xun in her Foreword to this bilingual Selected Poems. We are grateful to her and co-translator Harry Clifton for giving us a sense in English of these utterly engaging and distinctive poems, and a glimpse of the times that brought them into being.

According to the way of numbering the years in Chinese lunar calendar, there are two seasonal division points in each month, making 24 in a year. The Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn and Beginning of Winter mark the start of four seasons. The seasonal division points show the relationship between universe, season, climate and agriculture. To date, it has functioned as a complete set of weather calendar to guide the agricultural production in China. There have been poems about seasons, which is a subject that inspired some of the most beautiful poetry ever written. Chen Yutang's translations of the selected poems on four seasons bring to the English-speaking world a glimpse into the expressive poetry of some minor poets in contemporary China, introducing traditional Chinese themes into a familiar poetic landscape and opening a door of understanding to English readers. This collection will be of significant interest to anthologists and poetry lovers alike.

Open this thin poetry collection and your soul is captivated immediately and touched deeply. In pious linguistic expression, beautiful melody and superb artistic form are expressed by poet Dong Fang Dao.He chants the eternal dream of humankind, namely holy loves, innocent children, the compassionate Buddha, the otherworldly Zhuang Tzu in the Warring States period, and enumerates the mysteries of nature.It is as water under the bridge as time passes by, when people so busy in their livelihoods and in a hurry all day long, fail to grasp the truly important things in life.Only those who are frank inherently can appreciate the beautiful scenery in a good day, and dare to chase their dreams.Exactly as the author chants:"Ah, Poet! Natural messenger, embodiment of freedom and innocence, only you first smell every subtle scent in spring, even at late night, at dawn, or in early morning of the sun shining. You are only messenger of universe, forerunner of all things, every sigh of nature sees eye to eye with you, understands tacitly, whether in the day or at night."

L'auteur a rassemblé dans ce recueil un certain nombre d'aphorismes représentatifs des trois grands courants de la pensée chinoise : Confucianisme, Taoïsme, Bouddhisme.

At the height of his literary prowess, Xu Zhimo was the most famous living poet in all of China. With his round spectacles and aristocratic profile, Xu had a face that became as iconic as his poetry. During his short life, he claimed an illustrious place in the literary canon, redefining Chinese poetry and leading literature into the modern era. But while the brilliant and charismatic Xu may have seemed to live a charmed existence, he also faced near poverty, profound heartbreak, the opium addiction of his second wife, and a fiery death at age thirty-five. In this lyrical and engaging biography, Xu's story is poignantly told by his grandson, Tony Hsu. Born in 1897, Xu came of age during the early twentieth century, a period when China was struggling to find its own identity-an era of nation building, violent political revolutions, and passionate cultural exchange with the West. In Chasing the Modern, we follow the odyssey of Xu, who at twenty-one, boards a ship from Shanghai to America, leaving behind his family-the dutiful and intelligent Zhang Youyi, the wife he had wed in an arranged marriage and their infant son-and his beloved homeland to pursue a Western education. In America, along with the other elite young men of his generation, he studies at Columbia University in New York. Shifting allegiances and crossing the Atlantic to continue his education in England, Xu then joins the avant-garde philosophers and writers at the storied King's College, Cambridge University, and socializes with the London literati, exchanging ideas, bons mots and champagne toasts with the Bloomsbury Group. It is at Cambridge that Xu experiences an awakening-to literature, to love, and to life itself-ultimately choosing to devote himself to poetry, pursuing the first divorce in Chinese history, and chasing an eternal love with the entrancing, intelligent women he believes embody modern ideals, among them Lin Huiyin, who would ultimately rise as China's first female architect, and Lu Xiaoman, a lauded opera singer, painter and author. Returning to China after four years abroad, Xu rises to national fame, first as the interpreter for Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, then as a visionary poet, and finally, and perhaps most importantly, as a symbol of early twentieth century China. A man who defined his era, Xu made choices in life and love that surprised and sometimes shocked a nation that was watching-and following-his every move.

In neuer Übersetzung: das wohl einflussreichste französische Buch über das alte China.Auf seinen Reisen zwischen Shanghai, Fuzhou und Hankou beginnt der Diplomat Claudel gleich bei seinem ersten Aufenthalt von 1895-1899 mit der Niederschrift literarischer Momentaufnahmen. Obwohl er die chinesische Sprache nicht versteht, fühlt er sich sofort wie ein Fisch im Wasser, alles erscheint ihm 'natürlich und normal', die scheinbare Unordnung der chinesischen Stadt wird für ihn zum Zeichen einer Harmonie, die er der etablierten Ordnung europäischer Großstädte vorzieht. China sollte fortan das Land sein, in dem Paul Claudel nach kurzem Zwischenaufenthalt in Japan die meiste Zeit seiner diplomatischen Karriere verbrachte.Eindrücke vom Meer, den Flüssen, dem Land und den Gärten wechseln sich in den von eigenwilligen, mitunter gebrochenen Rhythmen durchzogenen Prosagedichten ab. Claudel streut Reflexionen, Gesänge und Fabeln ein; Phasen des Innehaltens, der produktiven Leere und Meditation folgt rasende Bewegung. Sie sind daher literarisches Zeugnis einer durch Baudelaire angestoßenen und von Rimbaud weitergeführten aufgebrochenen Prosaform und zugleich Zeugnis eines von allen Klischees befreiten und völlig unvoreingenommenen Blicks auf ein China des späten 19. Jahrhunderts.

Finalist, 2020 Miller Williams Poetry Prize<BR><BR> Inspired by Matsuo Basho's writings and teachings on poetics and haiku, the interrelated lyric poems in Sky of Wu investigate work and marriage, the question of becoming a parent while watching a parent age into dementia, and the realities of wrestling with inequality, pollution, and habitat loss while navigating everyday life in Oakland, California. Simultaneously, they converse with Chinese poets from the eighth century and Japanese writers from the eleventh and seventeenth centuries. From these disparate sources, Halebsky weaves together small moments, stolen phrases, and images of beauty, allowing them to reveal their own sly humor and unvarnished truth.
