by Liu Zongyuan (Author), Nathaniel Dolton-Thornton (Translator), Yu Yuanyuan (Translator)
Liu Zongyuan's remarkable poetry reflects the complex experience of political exile and observes the natural world of his new home in South China with a caring eye.
The Poetic Garden of Liu Zongyuan presents poems by the Tang Dynasty cofounder of the Classical Prose Movement written on the Chinese empire's southern margins. In these remarkable pieces, Liu intertwines South China's landscapes and plants-such as scarlet canna, banyan, and white myoga ginger-with reflections on honor, duty, banishment, and belonging in ways unique in the history of Chinese poetry. The two translators, Nathaniel Dolton-Thornton and Yu Yuanyuan, one American and one Chinese, preserve and showcase the singular beauty of Liu's poetic garden for the English-speaking world.
