Synopsis'Poem-Chanting Tower' was the name of the house that Xue Tao, courtesan and poet, built at her retirement in 810 a.d. on the banks of the Brocade River, just a few hundred yards downriver from the house of Tu Fu, China's most famous poet. The poems in this volume gathered words slowly over twenty years even as they looked back to Xue Tao's 9th century or to my years in Vermont or to more recent years when I decided I should encounter more vividly an ancient world where I wake at night and find myself.
