An influential painter and practitioner of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, many of his poems contain concise and evocative descriptions of nature whose elegant minimalism offers subtle expression of a transcendence from everyday life. While this purity of poetic expression is what Wang Wei's reputation is built upon, he lived a courtly life of highs and lows in a tumultuous era, suffering demotions and exile, imprisonment and rehabilitation, all of which are evidenced in his verse. Wang Wei's poems grapple with the trappings of worldly life and the quest for enlightenment, painting a complex picture of both his psyche and his Chan discipline. \u003ci\u003eLaughing Lost in the Mountains\u003c\/i\u003e includes translations of poems running the spectrum of Wang Wei's subjects, as well as an extensive introduction that sheds light on Wang Wei's craft, spirituality, and historical context.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University Press of New England","offers":[{"title":"Laughing Lost in the Mountains: Poems of Wang Wei | Wang | Paperback | 9780874515640 | Used: Good | 1784775","offer_id":67623899693208,"sku":"1784775","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61f1pM8FwdL.jpg?v=1790969101","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/laughing-lost-in-the-mountains-poems-of-wang-wei","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
