Beyond Chrysanthemums: Perspectives on Poetry East and West (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780198151654)

This groundbreaking book looks at the relevance for the West of Eastern aesthetic and poetic principles in a lively discussion of over 200 poems in 17 languages (all provided with parallel translations). Stephen Reckert, perhaps the leading scholar in the field, draws on his deep knowledge of Far Eastern, Iberian, and Latin American poetry to make major contribution to the study of comparative poetics and poetic theory.
