520 "Li Po (701-762) is considered one of the greatest poets
to live during the Tang dynasty--what was considered to be
the golden age for Chinese poetry. He was also the first
Chinese poet to become well known in the West, and he
greatly influenced many American poets during the
twentieth century. Calling himself the "God of Wine" and
known to his patrons as a "fallen immortal," Li Po wrote
with eloquence, vividness, and often playfulness, as he
extols the joys of nature, wine, and the life of a
wandering recluse. Li Po had a strong social conscience,
and he struggled against the hard times of his age. He was
inspired by the newly blossoming Zen Buddhism and merged
it with the Taoism that he had studied all his life.
Though Li Po's love of wine is legendary, the translator,
J.P. Seaton, includes poems on a wide range of topics--
friendship and love, political criticism, poems written to
curry patronage, poems of the spirit--to offer a new
interpretation of this giant of Chinese poetry. Seaton
offers us a poet who learned hard lessons from a life
lived hard and offered his readers these lessons as vivid,
lively poetry--as relevant today as it was during the Tang
dynasty. Over one thousand poems have been attributed to
Li Po, many of them unpublished. This new collection
includes poems not available in any other editions"--
