The Beheaded Poetess is a book about the life of the T'ang Dynasty
Nun and Poetess, Yu Xuanji. Two books in one: history and poetry.
The work of Genevieve Wimsatt in her 1937 book: Selling Wilted
Peonies is revised into Concrete Poetry throughout the book, with
acknowledgements below each section and poem. Intermingled with the
original translations of Yu Xuanji, with a modern day Poet Laureate
Editing it, and including her own versions, homages to, and
inspired by poems. She has combined her love of history with poetry
to come up with a First Edition, winning combination. This book
began as only an Homage to book, and somehow evolved into an
accurate historical write, with many interesting facts worked in
throughout the book. Included are a few illustrations. Truly a work
of love by Jean Elizabeth Ward.
