About This Book

This collection assembles lyric ci poems that pair precise natural imagery with intimate reflections on love, revelry, aging, and parting. Short, melodic lyrics evoke lakes, willows, blossoms, boats and seasonal change, while public scenes of banquets, music and wine alternate with private longing and melancholy. Recurrent motifs such as moonlight, fallen petals and returning birds shape shifting moods, and a variety of ci tunes gives concise stanzas that move between vivid sensory detail and elegiac recollection.
