\nAn Evening Celebrating Li Shangyin
\nWith Chloe Garcia Roberts and Lucas Klein
\nWine reception to follow <\/strong><\/p>\n

Greenlight is thrilled to present an evening celebrating Li Shangyin, foremost poet of the late Tang dynasty, on the occasion of a new translation of his work published by the New York Review of Books. This new collection presents Chloe Garcia Roberts\u2019s translations of a wide selection of Li\u2019s verse in the company of other versions by the prominent sinologist A. C. Graham and the scholar-poet Lucas Klein. Combining hedonistic aestheticism with stark fatalism, Li\u2019s poetry is an intoxicating mixture of pleasure and grief, desire \"\"<\/u><\/strong><\/a>and loss, everywhere imbued with a singular nostalgia for the present moment. Rarely translated into English, Li\u2019s work has an esotericism and sensuality that sets him apart from the austere masters of the Chinese literary canon. Garcia Roberts and Klein read and discuss Li\u2019s work during this event, followed by a signing, Q&A, and a wine reception to follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
