The earliest and most extensive literary engagement with wilderness in human history, Mountain Home is vital poetry that feels utterly contemporary.
Mountain Home collects poems form 5th through 13th century China and includes the poets Li Po, Po Chü-I and Tu Fu. The "rivers-and-mountains" tradition covers a remarkable range of topics: comic domestic scenes, social protest, travel, sage recluses, and mountain landscapes shaped into forms of enlightenment. And within this range, the poems articulate the experience of living as an organic part of the natural world and its processes. In an age of globel ecological disruption and mass extinction, this tradition grows more urgently important every day. Mountain Home offers poems that will charm and inform not just readers of poetry, but also the large community of readers who are interested in environmental awareness

Not a book that I have finished, but a life book . . .
Hinton's introduction is helpful on key ideas and conveying a sense of what reading in the original must be like.
Tu Fu is my favorite this time through.
Facing Night
Outside a lone city, our river village rests
among confusions of tumbling streams.
Deep mounts hurry brief winter light
here. Tall trees calming bottomless wind,
cranes glide in to mist-silvered shadows,
and hens nestle into thatch roofs. Tonight,
lamplight scattered across ch'in and books
all night long, I can see through my death.
And the last lines from Dawn Landscape
And these deer at my bramble gate: so close
here, we touch our own kind in each other.
