| Landscape after Wang Wei's Wangchuan Picture |
These four poems are from a manuscript I've been working on
since December, 2017, tentatively called "Absence Presence Absence."
The poems are heavily influenced by the work of Classical Chinese poets, especially
Li Po, Du Fu, Chia Tao, and Wang Wei.
I've been consulting the translations of David Hinton,
J.P. Seaton, Red Pine, Mike O'Connor, Burton Watson, Kenneth Rexroth, and Stephen Owen, among a few others.
You can find my poems
