| Summary: | Narrative and lyric universes of elegance, raw sorrows, and the joys of human existence. As is the case with most contemporary Chinese poetry, the work is unknown in Canada. Presented here is a volume that astounds in its breadth and international scope, crossing linguistic, cultural, and geographic distances. In Zhao Si we have a poet who demonstrates a profound awareness not only of her own traditions and mythology, but of the literature and legends that inform Western poetry. Her work is a weft of allusions, references and traditions. |
