李太白集

A collected edition gathers lyric poems, narrative verse, long rhapsodies, and occasional prose by the Tang poet Li Bai, tracing his youthful wanderings, mountain and river landscapes, tavern life, friendships, Daoist and immortal imagery, court ambitions and disappointments. Vivid natural description, mythic flights such as the great Peng, and personal reflection recur across short lyrics and longer fu, mixing exuberant imagination with elegiac tones. Material ranges from travel and farewell poems to love songs, ceremonial pieces, and philosophical meditations, presenting a portrait of a restless, visionary voice in fluctuating public and private circumstances.
