LI PO
L' Po (701-762 CE), also known as Li Bai, was translated by Ezra Pound under the Japanese pronunciation of his name as Rihaku. He is widely regarded as China's greatest poet, an honor he shares with Tu Fu. Li's romantic life and spontaneous poetry earned him the title of "the spirit of poetry, while Tu Fu's more down-to-earth style gained him recognition as the greatest "human poet."
