| book description |

The present book examines William Carlos Williamsâ€™s negotiation with cultural modes and systems of the Chinese landscape tradition in his landscape writing. Focusing on Walliamsâ€™s landscape modes of landscape with(out) infused emotions, the book builds a linkage between their interactions with Chinese landscape aesthetics and shows how these conversations helped shape Williamsâ€™s cross-cultural landscape poetics. The exploration of Williamsâ€™s experiment with the Chinese serene interplay of self and landscape, the interfusion of scene and emotion, an idea of seeing from the perspective of Wang Guoweiâ€™s theory of jingjie, and the poetic space of frustration and completion in the context of space and human geography, expand the understanding of a cross-cultural landscape tradition developed by Williams through bringing into focus the convergence of East-West poetics.
