Translations of various Chinese poets' work. - Summary by KevinS

Li Po (AD 701-762) lived in T'ang Dynasty China, but his influence has spanned the centuries: the pure lyricism of his poems has awed readers in China and Japan for over a millennium, and through Ezra Pound’s translations, Li Po became central to the modernist revolution in the West. However ethereal in spirit, his poems remain grounded in the everyday experience we all share. He wrote 1,200 years ago, half a world away, but in his poems we see our world transformed.

Beautiful translations of the Ancient 8th century Chinese poets Li Bai and Du Fu by Keith Holyoak. Read by the author and accompanied by background music featuring contemporary and traditional compositions on ancient Chinese instruments.
