The quintessential Chinese poet, translated by David Hinton, recipient of the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award. Generally acclaimed as one of China's greatest poets, Po Ch?i (772846 C.E.) practiced a poetry of everyday human concerns and clear plainspoken language. In spite of his preeminent stature, this is the first edition of Po Ch?i's poetry to appear in the West. It encompasses the full range of his work, from the early poems of social protest to the later recluse poems, whose spiritual depths reflect both his lifelong devotion to Taoist and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhist practice. David Hinton's translations of ancient Chinese poetry have earned wide acclaim for creating compelling English texts that have altered our conception of Chinese poetry. Among his books published by New Directions are The Selected Poems of Tu Fu, and The Selected Poems of Li Po. His work has been supported by fellowships from The National Endowment for the Arts and The National Endowment for the Humanities.
