Publisher's Synopsis
The Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 AD) is considered to be China's Golden Age of Poetry, and My China in Tang Poetry is a personal celebration of the genius of the Tang poets by writer, teacher and translator Susan Wan Dolling. She provides a feast of new translations of the poems, accompanying them with explanations of the meaning and context of each with an unparalleled depth of knowledge and understanding, as well as an enthusiasm that is infectious. To her, the poems are not only the epitome of culture and art, but also a store of stories and images that remains relevant today.
