Waiting for the Owl: poems and songs from ancient China - Ian Johnston (translator)
Waiting for the Owl: poems and songs from ancient China translated by Ian Johnston. Poems by Chinese rulers, officials, statesmen, soldiers, concubines, recluses and hard-drinking iconoclasts, dating back to the 2nd century BC and beyond. The same appealing Daoist philosophy underlying Singing of Scented Grass will again delight the readership that so readily embraced the first timeless collection.
'What comes through Johnston’s work is that rare but necessary thing with translation of the first order: an intimate feel for the original, and a vigorous intuition with regard to what might be done with it in English.'—Barry Hill
