Awakened Cosmos presents the life and poetry of Tu Fu through the lens of the idea that animated all of his work that a person is a location in which the cosmos can awaken to itself. Each of the nineteen chapters begins with one of Tu Fu's poems, rendered first in literal character-by-character translation, then in translator David Hinton's signature style. Hinton captures the texture and density of the originals while rendering the poems in vivid, accessible English. He then offers a philosophically rich interpretation of each poem, at once delving into the depths of the Daoist and Ch'an influences, context, and subtext of the poems and guiding the reader through Tu Fu's dramatic life--which included everything from serving in the Emperor's court and achieving national prestige as a poet to experiencing warfare, deprivation, and years of refugee wandering. The result is nothing short of remarkable--a biography of the wild Cosmos awakened to itself in one particular human manifestation: the poet Tu Fu"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Reading guide -- Ancestor exalt -- Depths awakening -- Drifting whole -- Blood black -- Trace sky -- Ruins lush -- Emptiness dragon -- Lucent dark -- Loom origins -- Mystery sparse -- Return crows -- Brimmed whole -- Skies vacant -- Trust ablaze -- Clarity touch -- Stars absence -- Home dance -- Open alone -- Radiance limitless. 546 $a English and Chinese. 600 10 $a Du, Fu, $d 712-770 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Du, Fu, $d 712-770. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00004073 650 0 $a Chinese poetry $y Tang dynasty, 618-907 $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Poetry. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Chinese poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857672 650 7 $a Tang Dynasty (China) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01696781 648 7 $a 618-907 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 12 $a Du, Fu, $d 712-770. $t Poems. $k Selections. $i Container of (work): 700 12 $a Du, Fu, $d 712-770. $t Poems. $l English. $k Selections. $i Container of (expression): 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013554.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728010833.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20210226010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E81480362DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
