snowynightI am snowynight and I will be your host this week.I love poetry because something about how it plays with the language and condense idea and image fascinates me. I have read poetry since I was very young, and they still catch my imagination to this day.
This week I 'd like to introduce to you female poets in ancient China. Because of sexual discrimination, women in ancient China seldom received education. Women were not expected to write so their work were usually lost to the time. Today I bring to you the poem of the first recorded female poet: Lady Lu Xu. She wrote this poem on her way to ask for assistance to save her own country.
