An interactive experience of poetry from China’s dragon rivers — come, pick a poem from the anthology, and recite it to live music.
A poem is a leaf of grass tying time and space together
This anthology of modern Chinese poetry takes you on a breathtaking journey along China's Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. Along the way, you will meet poets from the riverbanks: major figures and exciting new voices from Tibet, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Sichuan, and the river deltas. The poems and photographs in this anthology are a living history of China.
Gary Snyder co-authored the introduction.
Wang Ping began writing and translating poetry with Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Ron Padgett, Ann Waldman, Lewis Warsh, and other American poets in 1988.
She is the author of fifteen award-winning books of poetry, prose, and translation, and professor of poetry emeritus at Macalester College.
