Mein Meister sagte mir einmal, es seid gut zu helfen, es würde die Seele erhellen und der wahre Meister der Künste habe eine weise Seele wie das Licht, welches sie stärkt und ihnen eine geheimnisvolle Kraft gibt. Ähnlich wie bei den Sternen, dessen Helligkeit durch das Licht geprägt wird, ist es auch mit den Taten und der Seele. Das Waren einst Worte meines Meisters. Doch will ich nicht nur über meinen Meister berichten, sonst Träge der Titel dieses Schriftstückes nicht den meinigen Namen. [mehr]

This is the first translation into English of all of Li Shangyin's poems (Tang Dynasty 813-858 AD). Li Shangyin is one of the most fascinating of poets and this book includes historical background on the poet as well as introductory and explanatory notes by the translator. For over 1200 years, scholars have attempted to understand, let alone translate Li Shangyin’s poems. At least four different schools of thought have developed. Firstly, his poems are reflections on political patrons and a failed career. Secondly, they are thinly veiled political satires of the Court and political factions. Thirdly, they are stories of actual affairs with Court ladies and Taoist priestesses. Finally, they are admirable vehicles of mystery and beauty. My interpretations include elements of all the above, but are also a synthesis of sentiments - the poet’s (as I see him) and my own, of which music is a core part. This is particularly appropriate with Li Shangyin. His poetry is a labyrinth of passionate images, almost musical in sound and sequencing. They are at once ebullient, sad, loving, hateful, spiteful, sneering, and religious - a cornucopia of musical words that sing across the ages. [mehr]

Yamato-Damashii is term in the Japanese language meant to refer the spiritual and cultural values and characteristics of the Japanese people. The phrase was coined in the Heian period to describe the indigenous Japanese 'spirit' or cultural values as opposed to cultural values of foreign nations such as those identified through contact with Tang dynasty China. Later, a qualitative contrast between Japanese and Chinese spirit was elicited from the term. Edo period writers and samurai used it to augment and support the Bushido concept of honor and valor. Japanese nationalists propagandized Yamato-damashii – 'the brave, daring, and indomitable spirit of Japanese people' – as one of the key Japanese military-political doctrines in the Showa period. English translations of Yamato-damashii include the 'Japanese spirit', 'Japanese soul', 'Yamato spirit', and 'The Soul of Old Japan'. Lafcadio Hearn mentions the latter in connection with Shinto.

Charles “Charlie The Machete” Rastelli is a shellshocked Vietnam War veteran who lives with serious post traumatic stress disorder. Charlie’s self-esteem is shattered by the fact that he suffered from genital mutilation from ammunition crossfire while serving in Vietnam. His life has spiraled far out of control. An engineering marvel known as Brush Creek is where he has always found his piece of solitude. Brush Creek is an east to west stretch of creek sewage, woods, wildlife, and concrete jogging trails. Failure to kill a certain woman becomes his pretext to building a murderous resume. Charlie lures women from prominent working class to prostitutes and drug addicts to his apartment. Strangulation is his method of murder. A Full Tang Monster Machete is his method of mutilation. His victim’s bodies are transported in trashbags and dumped in Brush Creek. Members of an all-women support group are determined to put an end to the killing cycle fueled by Charlie. These diligent women consolidate resources and power with law enforcement to try and make sure that more bodies won’t surface anymore in Brush Creek. Will Charlie meet up with the specter of death when he decides to go too far? It’s a serious race against time to end a psychopath’s homicidal escapades. [mehr]

Just As He Entered These Mansions Of Misery, His Ears Were Invaded With A Hoarse And Dreadful Voice, Exclaiming, "You, Bess Beetle, Score A Couple Of Fresh Eggs, A Pennyworth Of Butter, And Half A Pint Of Mountain To The King; And Stop Credit Till The Bill Is Paid:--He Is Now Debtor For Fifteen Shillings And Sixpence, And D--N Me If I Trust Him One Farthing More, If He Was The Best King In Christendom. And, D'ye Hear, Send Ragged-Head With Five Pounds Of Potatoes For Major Macleaver's Supper, And Let Him Have What Drink He Wants; The Fat Widow Gentlewoman From Pimlico Has Promised To Quit His Score. Sir Mungo Barebones May Have Some Hasty Pudding And Small Beer, Though I Don't Expect To See His Coin, No More Than To Receive The Eighteen Pence I Laid Out For A Pair Of Breeches To His Backside--What Then? He's A Quiet Sort Of A Body, And A Great Scholar, And It Was A Scandal To The Place To See Him Going About In That Naked Condition. As For The Mad Frenchman With The Beard, If You Give Him So Much As A Cheese-Paring, You B--Ch, I'll Send You Back To The Hole, Among Your Old Companions; An Impudent Dog! I'll Teach Him To Draw His Sword Upon The Governor Of An English County Jail. What! I Suppose He Thought He Had To Do With A French Hang-Tang-Dang, Rabbit Him! He Shall Eat His White Feather, Before I Give Him Credit For A Morsel Of Bread." [mehr]

his book is the first of a series of essays inspired by the poems of the Tang Poet Li Shangyin (813-858 AD), and includes many insghtful observations on the author's personal multicultural journey through America, Asia and Africa. The bilingual book also includes the author's beautiful Chinese calligraphy and a groundbreaking analysis on the relevance of poetry to the existential dislocations of our modern era. it is an excellent resource for students of English and Chinese, as well as those interested in exploring other cultures. Li Shangyin is one of the most fascinating of poets and this book includes historical background on the poet as well as introductory and explanatory notes by the translator.
