The great poet Li Po drowned after trying to embrace the moon
reflected in the still waters of an isolated lake. These 25 concise
and sensuous poems, each paired with a stunning and provocative
colour digital artwork, also embrace that incarnation of the
tantalizing mystery of our existence in this immense universe that
the moon universally symbolizes. The images are startling, and the
poems cut to the quick of our emotional vulnerability as strangers
in a strange land. It is not just a book for readers of poetry or
visual art enthusiasts. It for anyone who has looked at the moon
and wondered what it all means. Introducing the works is an
interesting historical discussion of the tanka, the pithy verse
form used by Li Po and used for all of these poems, as well as an
explanation of the inspiration and genesis of the book. Also
included are endnotes on all of the works, which possibly may
further the reader's appreciation by placing them in a larger
context.
