The Canadian Society for Asian Arts and VAHMS are presenting an online launch of 'Bird Tracks in the Air: Selected Poems by Wang Anshi' by Chinese language and literature scholars and Professors Jan Walls and Yvonne Walls, who have edited and translated poems of revered poet Wang Anshi. Illustrations by artist Liu Lingling enhance the poetry.

Wang Anshi (1021-1086) has always been known as a leading Song Dynasty political reformer, and as one of the 'Eight Great Essayists of the Tang and Song Periods' in China, but he was also a master composer of the shorter Chinese verse forms. The program presents poems illustrating Wang's various levels of awareness and enlightenment, from commemorating conventional occasions to sharing a mystical awareness of the human situation.
