Chinese Buddhist monks of the Song dynasty (960–1279) called the irresistible urge to compose poetry ‘the poetry demon’. In this ambitious study, Jason Protass seeks to bridge the fields of Buddhist studies and Chinese literature to examine the place of poetry in the lives of Song monks.
Jason Protass is assistant professor of religious studies at Brown University.
