Autumn Willows Poetry by Women of China's Golden Age

The fabled middle Tang dynasty of China lasted almost three hundred years (618'¬"905). These centuries embodied martial conflict, unbelievable wealth and opulence for a few, and horrible poverty for many. Through it all, an unwieldy caste system governed lord and serf alike. In this exotic, beautiful, and forbidding culture, poetry was revered and practiced by many. Three women poets, especially, endured through the centuries as the voices of their time. For the first time in English, the poetry of the Taoist priestesses, Le Yi and Yu Xuanji, and the slave, Xue Tao is presented.Chow, Bannie is the author of 'Autumn Willows Poetry by Women of China's Golden Age' with ISBN 9781586540258 and ISBN 1586540254.
