Longing for Landscape explores the work of famed Chinese poet Su Shi (1037–1101) and his new song lyric style that shifted away from banquet entertainment and toward expressions of longing for place through travel tropes. Benjamin Ridgway traces Su’s connections to earlier poets and how he inspired lyrics of rootlessness in the next generation.
