Über den Autor


A thousand years separate us from this Su Dongpo (1037-1101), and yet his voice, despite large differences of language, culture, and geography, feels fresh, immediate, and intimate. That is partly an eloquent testimony to the power of poetry to overcome time and change. Certain aspects of human experience are universal; a good poet understands that and can use it to advantage.
