By a Lake Near a Moon: Fishing with the Chinese Masters

5/5 ( ratings)

In By a Lake Near a Moon: Fishing with the Chinese Masters, a collection of 114 poems-variations based on Kenneth Rexroth's translation, 100 Poems from the Chinese -poet DeWitt Clinton places the poems in a contemporary landscape of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with lyrical scenes of the changes of seasons, the Lake Michigan beach front, bridges across the Milwaukee rivers, and roads and highways of the nearby countryside. While the themes of the classical Chinese poets -Tu Fu, Meo Yao Ch'en, Ou Yang Hsiu, Su Tung Po, The Poetess Li Ch'ing Chao, Lu Yu, Chu Hsi, and Hsu Chao-remain the same, these adaptations bring life and energy from Classical China to the modern-day world with the changes in the landscape and temperament of the Chinese poets retold by a respected contemporary American Midwest poet.
