Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An exploration of the emerging Western consciousness of how deeply we belong to the wild Cosmos, as seen through the lineage of modern America's great avantgarde poets a thrilling journey with today's premier translator of the Chinese classics.Henry David Thoreau, in The Maine Woods, describes a moment on Mount Ktaadin when all explanations and assumptions fell away for him and he was confronted with the wonderful, inexplicable thusness of things. David Hinton takes that moment as the starting point for his account of a rewilding of consciousness in the West: a dawning awareness of our essential oneness with the world around us. Because there was no Western vocabulary for this perception, it fell to poets to make the first efforts at articulation, and those efforts were largely driven by Taoist and Chan (Zen) Buddhist ideas imported from ancient China. Hinton chronicles this rewilding through the lineage of avantgarde poetry in twentiethcentury Americafrom Walt Whitman, Ezra Pound and Robinson Jeffers to Gary Snyder, W. S. Merwin, and beyondincluding generous selections of poems that together form a compelling anthology of ecopoetry. In his muchadmired translations, Hinton has recreated ancient Chinese riversandmountains poetry as modern American poetry; here, he reenvisions modern American poetry as an extension of that ancient Chinese tradition: an ecopoetry that weaves consciousness into the Cosmos in radical and fundamental ways.
