Today's #BookHaul is full of awesome books from #China, #Japan, and #Korea. I haven't been reading as much as I like lately, but I couldn't help but pick these up!
積読中の本たちには申し訳ないけど、今日も本屋に行ってきました！本を買うのも趣味なんですね。いつ読むかわかりませんが、とりあえず嬉しい気持ちになっています。

I spent this afternoon at my two favourite bookstores again and of course I couldn't leave without picking up some new books!
I got one book in English and four books in #Japanese, with all but one being #HistoricalFantasy. That remaining book is #ModernFantasy lol
Really excited to read all of these books (eventually) and hopefully share my thoughts!

A Summer Day in the Company of Ghosts, by Wang Yin, tr. by Andrea Lingenfelter.
The poems of this extraordinary volume illuminate the inner life as a singular encounter between physical and spiritual realms.

A famous #Chinese official and writer of poetry and prose, Yuan Zhen 元稹 (779–831), once found himself having to leave the capital for a new post in the provinces only a month after he had finally been able to return. His spouse, Pei Rouzhi, was not happy and started lamenting loudly when she heard the news. They reportedly had the following poetic exchange...

A 9thC #Tang dynasty anecdote collection (雲溪友議) tells of a wealthy man named Guo who had many concubines and maidservants, one of whom was named Sword Bearer (捧劍). She was always staring into the incense smoke during parties and not listening to orders, so was beaten often. Then she started writing poetry and things changed. Here are three of my #translations of her #poems, which are are unusual in being written from a servant's POV.

Hu Lingneng (785–826), who made a living polishing mirrors and repairing pots and pans, gained the power to write poetry after he dreamed that a Daoist sage named Liezi cut his belly open and placed a written scroll in his heart. He became a celebrity among the elites at the time, but never gave up his job as a tinker. Here are three of my #translations of his #poems, which are prized for their vivid immediacy...
