What happens when an ancient Chinese poem becomes a lifelong obsession? Li Po's Restless Night includes 101 variations on themes of exile, memory, and moonlight. Inspired by the classical Chinese poet Li Po's famous work, the variations, or improvisations, explore a life spent between the rigid world of business and the fluid world of memory. From the barracks of Fort Huachuca to the lonely neon glow of modern motels, the poems navigate the space between who we are and where we call home. Includes an explanatory essay, a moving story of Florence, the student and teacher and friend who translates and introduces the Li Po poem, and a history of reading Li Po translations. Li Po's Restless Night may interest students of classical Chinese literature or travelers looking for a companion on a sleepless night.
