TU FU (712-770 C.E.) has for more than a millennium been widely considered in China as their greatest poet, and Hinton's original Selected Poems played a key role in extending that reputation to America. Most of Tu Fu's best work was written in the last decade of his life as he fled the devastation of civil war. In the midst of his refugee struggles, Tu's always personal poems managed to encompass a remarkable range: elegant simplicity and great complexity, everyday life and grand historical drama, private philosophical depth and social engagement in a world consumed by war. His poems sound remarkably contemporary, and through it all, his wisdom grew only more elemental: "Armies haunt my homeland still, and war / drums throb in this far-off place. A guest // overnight here in this river city, I return / again to shrieking crows, my old friends."

This volume is published simultaneously with a book of Hinton's essays that discuss the deep philosophical framework and untranslatable dimensions of Tu Fu's poems: Awakened Cosmos: The Mind of Classical Chinese Poetry (Shambhala).

Disappointed
Size: Tub 8 Ounce
Not happy with this product. The product fails to give the desired results. I used the entire thing but left disappointed. The price is high for this small amount and on top of that it doesn't help with the diaper rash.

Can be used for more than just diaper rash...
Size: Tub 8 Ounce
We were turned on to using diaper rash ointment for healing cracked heels and rough hands. Our German exchange daughter brought a cream from Germany that was fantastic and we have spent the last fifteen years trying to find something US based that could compare. As grandparents, we also wanted to make sure when we are on deck for diaper duty we use something approved by very picky natural based parents. I figured I would try it out on myself first and frankly my hands need it desperately. The ingredients are natural based, well researched, and used in the top rated diaper rash creams. It is a New York company founded by a woman trying to come up with a burn cream for her daughter years ago. They have a poison oak bar they developed along with other healing creams. After researching it, as I encourage everyone to do on any skin or health product, I felt comfortable enough to give it a go. It comes well sealed in a small jar and is a firm creamy ointment. It smells nice - a little sweet and flowery, but not overwhelming - just a natural scent really. It only takes a scooch and covers well. I was expecting a thick what paste as in diaper creams from back in my day but this is transparent when you put it on. It absorbs nicely but leaves a water shedding quality. My normally rough hands are soft this morning and what I like best is the water shedding properties. I ran my hands under the water just to put it to the test and it did great. I have very sensitive skin and have had no issues. Really a nice cream I feel totally comfortable using myself and on those cute lil baby buns. The company put a lot of care into developing their products and I appreciate it. Oh, one question I would be asking is "is it oily" - It is not. The feeling you get from it is best described as "soft". The con - the writing on the jar is so small (old people can't see) so I relied on being able to blow up the pictures on here. What would be great is if they would add the back of the jar in the pictures too.

No spatulas ?

Seems ok so far. We will see. A little disappointed that it didn’t come with the spatulas everyone pictured in the reviews.

easy to use spatula
This two pack of baby spatulas are easy to use and easy to clean. You don't have to worry about getting your fingers sticky or messy when applying creams to your baby. The suction cup on the end is a nice touch so that you can stand these up straight and not get another surface dirty or sticky. Definitely recommend this item to new parents!
