This is the first edition of Meng Hao-jan's (689-740 C.E.) work in English. Meng's work illuminates the Taoist belief that deep understanding lies beyond words. The distilled language and concise imagism of his poems open for us new inner depths, non-verbal insights and enigma. The work of Meng Hao-jan marks the beginning of a poetic revolution and of the first great era of Chinese poetry.
