2013 is the year of reading epics. Beginning with the Iliad , Odyssey , and Aeneid and continuing to revisit many of the poetic epics of Western literature I have read (and forgotten), I'll also be reading epics from the South and Central Asian traditions. Suggestions for an epic? Leave a comment.
Still reading Han Shan's poems, and still writing intermittent responses. I'm using Red Pine's translations of the complete collection, The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain as a guide to the original Chinese poems. Use the topic "Cold Mountain" for series navigation.
