Description

Dancing with the Dead: The Essential Red Pine Translations presents a unique collection of Chinese poetic and religious texts. Translated by renowned poet and scholar Red Pine, this anthology brings together over thirty voices from ancient China, including Buddhist poets and Tang-dynasty luminaries. The book includes translations from classic works such as Puming's Oxherding Pictures and Verses, Lao-Tzu's Daodejing, and Su Po-Jen's Guide to Capturing a Plum Blossom, one of the world's first printed books of art. Each section is accompanied by footnotes providing historical context, while new introductions offer insight into Red Pine's relationship with the poets he translates. This collection is more than just a book - it's a journey through Chinese poetry and history. With its unique blend of translation, scholarship, and personal reflection, Dancing with the Dead invites readers to explore the spirit behind the words.
