About This Book

A collected volume presents poems and occasional prose by the renowned Tang poet Li Bai, spanning short lyrics, longer rhapsodies, and occasional essays. The pieces celebrate rivers, mountains, moonlit nights, wine, and friendship, and often unfold Daoist longing for transcendence; some reflect on exile, ambition, and artistic fame. Formal variety includes terse quatrains and regulated verse alongside narrative and descriptive pieces, moving between exuberant imagination and reflective solitude. The edition arranges works by traditional scrolls and adds notes and chronological conjectures to aid reading.
