Review (PDF) Derangements Of My Contemporaries: Miscellaneous Notes (New Directions Poetry Pamphlets)
Proudly part of the New Directions Poetry Pamphlets, a classical Chinese poet considered one of the great mastersRanging from the humorous and scathing to the evocative and strange, this 9th century collection of list poems by the late Tang dynasty poet Li Shangyin documents one poet’s scrutiny of his riotous times. Li gives a glimpse into the mundane experiences of the waning years of Chinese poetry’s golden age, while providing an uncanny reflection of the minutiae of our own contemporary lives, loves, and irritations.Besieged by a drunk person, no escape. Beautiful concubine, jealous wife.
