During the last decade of his life, living as a recluse high in the
mountains of southeast China, he initiated a tradition of
"rivers-and-mountains" (shan-shui) poetry that stretches across the
millennia in China, a tradition that represents the earliest and
most extensive literary engagement with "the wild" in human
history. These poems were hugely popular in Hsieh's own time and
established him as one of the most innovative and influential poets
in the history of Chinese poetry as well as a founder of Ch'an
(Zen) Buddhism. Once again David Hinton, a recipient of fellowships
from The National Endowment for the Arts and The National Endowment
for the Humanities and the winner of a Harold Morton Landon
Translation Award from The Academy of American Poets, has produced
a fluid and supple translation that does full justice to the
rivers-and-mountains of Hsieh Ling-yun's inspiration."
