About This Book
A lyrical collection of ci poems that concentrates on yearning, loss, and delicate memory through concise musical stanzas. Seasonal and domestic images—moonlit courtyards, falling blossoms, rain, wind, rivers and distant frontiers—recur to evoke separation, mourning for a departed beloved, and the persistence of unfulfilled desire. Night, dream, and elegiac scenes alternate with quiet domestic moments and travel-weariness, while classical ci patterns and refrains shape a melodic, concentrated language that foregrounds regret, fragile beauty, and the transience of human feeling.
