'The Tao of Poetry - An Introduction to the Great Poets of the T’ang and Sung Dynasties (c. 700-1225)' with Liane Strauss
Discover the masterpieces of the great flowering of Classical Chinese poetry - and all that contributes to making it feel so contemporary: from its empiricism to the way it combines the secular and the spiritual, from its affinities with modern science and ecology to its radical feminism. We will use our study of these powerfully delicate poems as a jumping off point for learning the Tao (the way) into our own poems, helping us both to generate new poems and to revitalise our own poetic practice. Liane has been returning to these poems since she first came across Kenneth Rexroth’s translations One Hundred Poems from the Chinese and Women Poets of China as a graduate student. They are her temporary refuge from the Metaphysicals who were among her first, biggest influences, as well as from her sometimes overly full, overly busy, overly complicated days.
