Description
by Wandering Poet (Author)
COLD MOUNTAIN Transcendental Poetry is an expanded 7th edition collection of 100 poems by the T'ang Zen poet, Han-shan. The introduction includes a unique autobiography of the poet, using information drawn exclusively from the poems. The poems were found written on the rocks in a remote region in the Tien Tai mountains in southern China. They tell the story of a gentle recluse and of his long life on Cold Mountain, as a "guest" of nature, living in a cave and foraging for food. Though simple and childlike, the poems are majestic and have the power to lift the reader to share a moment in the poet's heaven. These translations are the very best you will find in English, they are rich with metaphor, and the poetry is close to the heart of Cold Mountain. Happy reading!
