Analects on a Chinese Screen

Glenn Mott's ANALECTS ON A CHINESE SCREEN is modeled on a form that reaches to an earlier tradition of narrative and storytelling, where the "I" refers to a protean self. The aim is at social enlightenment, with an insistent connection of poetry with the external world.

ANALECTS ON A CHINESE SCREEN is a book of humility rather that the falsely heroic, written by one as sensitive to the attenuations of life and the nuances of culture as any I've ever read.
