Descrizione Daughters of Emptiness: Poems of Chinese Buddhist Nuns
Beata Grant renders a great service by recovering and translating the enchanting verse -- by turns assertive, observant, devout -- of forty-eight nuns from sixteen centuries of imperial China. This selection of poems, along with brief biographical accounts that accompany them, affords readers a glimpse into the extraordinary diversity and sometimes startling richness of these women's lives. "Daughters of Emptiness" includes original hand-drawn calligraphies of each poet's name, as well as the poems in their original Chinese, alongside the translations.
