Walking Into My World Of Poetry - A Bilingual Anthology (Paperback)

This bilingual edition contains over three hundred original poems written in Chinese. They were translated into English personally by their author. A great majority of these poems were conceptualized and mentally composed during daily walks in his neighborhood. Most of these poems were written in the form and style that were popular during the Tang and Song dynasties, which include regulated verse and ci poetry. These poems are classified into twenty-three major themes or topics. Some of the categories include the author's reflections in the area of getting old, love, human behavior, nature, coping with life, battling with cancer, mental and physical health, and the future of traditional Chinese poetry. This book can be a good resource for students who want to learn Chinese through poetry. It may also be of interest to those who enjoy reading Chinese poetry from a bilingual perspective.
