Beschreibung:
The genre of poems that may be read both forward and backward, producing different creations was known as the "e;flight of wild geese."e; These poems were often sent so that a distant lover, like the migrating birds, would return. Its greatest practitioner, and the focus of this critical anthology, is Su Hui, a woman who, in the 4th Century, embroidered a silk for her distant husband using a grid of 840 characters that created perhaps 12,000 ways to read this poem. With examples from the 3rd to the 19th centuries, Michele Metail describes reversible poems as "e;a singular adventure at the edge of meaning, of language, and of writing."e;
