These poems celebrating beauty . . . and the beauty of longing . . . represent the legendary Bao Ding at his romantic best. Written in the manner of classical Chinese poetry translations, these last poems by the master were lost for many years. Recently discovered during the demolition of an old village in Shanghai, they are presented here for the first time in an elegant and thoughtful translation. Exiled and alone, Bao Ding travelled by foot from the capital of Beijing to this port city in hopes of reaching the fabled Old Gold Mountain across the great ocean to the east. We know not if he was successful in securing voyage or ended as a begger in the gutter of this chaotic metropolis, but the grace of his lost last poems survives.
