These poems weave a tapestry of Tu Fu's turbulent life and times of war and disaster.\u003cbr\u003eIn the post-pandemic era, we may appreciate the profound solitude and desolation in Tu Fu's poetry that still resonates across the span of a millennium. More than an homage to the life of Tu Fu, this work is a meditation on the self, suffering, and our transient beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEliot Weinberger\u003c\/b\u003e, described by The New York Times as \"one of the world's great essayists,\" is a celebrated author, translator, and editor.
