{"product_id":"po-chz-i-selected-poems-9780231118392","title":"Po Chü-I: Selected Poems","description":"For Po Chü-i, writing poetry was a way to expose the ills of society and an autobiographical medium to record daily activities, as well as a source of deep personal delight and satisfaction-constituting, along with wine and song, one of the chief joys of existence. Whether exposing the gluttony of arrogant palace attendants during a famine; describing the delights of drunkenly chanting new poems under the autumn moon; depicting the peaceful equanimity that comes with old age; or marveling at cool Zen repose during a heat wave... these masterfully translated poems shine with a precisely crafted artlessness that conveys the subtle delights of Chinese poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Burton Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Translations from the Asian Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231118392","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713648660617,"sku":"9780231118392","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e6d4fd09-32c0-4f04-9d25-b9c8ef43093d.jpg?v=1719618716","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/po-chz-i-selected-poems-9780231118392","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
