Question

A poem by this author describes a wanderer amid “ten thousand streams” and “thousands of clouds” who possesses the joy of “depending on nothing.” Another poem by this author asks “So how did someone like me get here?” and answers “My mind’s just not the same as yours.” The approximately 310 poems attributed to this author describe farming and studying the classics before making a life change and writing pieces like “People Ask the Way.” Jack Kerouac (*) dedicated (-5[1])The Dharma Bums to this poet at the same time that influential translations of this poet appeared with Riprap in Gary Snyder’s (10[1])first collection. (10[1])This mentor of the Tiāntāi Buddhist (10[1])poet Shídé (“shuh-duh”) supposedly disappeared one day into a crevice, leaving behind poems scrawled on nearby rocks and trees. For 10 points, name this legendary Táng hermit-poet who shares his name with the (10[1])natural feature (10[1])on which he lived. ■END■ (0[7])
