(copied from an Open Space thread):

I'm humbled, and humbly proffer 'Yi', by Yang Lian, published by Green Integer Press, 2002. I'll post this in 'news/reviews' too. Has anybody seen it? Has it been recommended here?

What I love about it is,
a. it is bi-lingual
b. it is a poetic interpretation, for a change; complementary to translations, but bringing the cultural influence of things-Yi forward unequivocably (...).
c. as part of this interpretive approach, a different, and I think unique sequence of the hexagrams is presented - not a mystery, but novel, no?

This looks like it might be a truly vast, strange wonderful book.

It is NOT a yijing translation.

It's an epic poem with yijing stuff in it.
