Author 裴阳, Pei Yang, has collected three hundred of his poems inspired by his travels and other written works and carefully translated each poem from its original Chinese to English so a wider audience can appreciate the beauty of traditional Chinese poetry.

All of life can be poetic, and what is poetic can be found in simple things we do each day. Readers, no matter what language they speak, can find commonalities and moments that resonate a deeper understanding of our common humanity.
