The definitive collection of works by one of the Tang Dynasty's most eccentric (and badly-behaved) poets, now back in print for the first time in decades.
Li He is the bad-boy poet of the late Tang dynasty.
He began writing at the age of seven and died at twenty-six from alcoholism or, according to a later commentator, sexual dissipation, or both.
An obscure and unsuccessful relative of the imperial family, he would set out at dawn on horseback, pause, write a poem, and toss the pap.
