"Poets and the Garden"
"As long as there have been poets, nature has been there to serve as a muse. But what of the more immediate and tactile environment of the garden? For some of the greatest poets, all the important lessons and metaphors about life can be found somewhere right outside the back door."

What Sparks Poetry:
Jonathan Stalling on "Spring Snow"
"The most influential genre of Classical Chinese Poetry is called ‘regulated verse’ (各路诗), and these forms gather the world into words and refold them into inter-resonant patterns on a cosmological scale. Each monosyllabic word must be stacked in relation to the one before and after, above and below until the whole rests upon a final balanced point, as relaxed and exact as a cairn of transparent quartz." |
