Chinese Poetry

      Chinese poets produced some great observations on life as "the Chinese Way" congealed from Confucian propriety, Taoist "natural-ness" and Buddhist transcience. Heaps of thanks to J.P. Seaton for putting me on to this stuff, and to my classmates of old, especially to Kendall, Ian, Sharon, Davie and Pete, for exploring it with me. Much thanks also to Jim Sanford, Eric Henry and Rong Tang.
