The best of Hanshan's treasured poems-among the earliest of Zen Buddhist poetry, beloved by the Beat Generation-here newly translated by Peter Harris and organised thematically in a beautiful Pocket Poet hardcover. Long ranking among the most inspiring works of world literature, the poems of Hanshan (whose name means Cold Mountain), were written at least twelve centuries ago on trees, rocks, and walls by a semi-mythical Buddhist monk living in the mountains of south-eastern China.

Hanshan (Author) HANSHAN was traditionally thought to be a resclusive seventh-century Buddhist monk who lived on a mountain in southeast China, writing his poems on rocks and trees. Current consensus is that the poems attributed to him were probably written by two or more people living in the early ninth century. Peter Harris (External Editor) Peter Harris is a specialist in the political and cultural history of China. He is the founding Director of the Asian Studies Institute at Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand, and a Visiting Professor at Nanjing University, China.
