#氣 — Public Fediverse posts

Happened across this book. Looks cool, but how can it be "a #comparative study of #breath and #breathing as a core #poetic and compositional principle in modern #literature" if it doesn't discuss #qi #氣 (vital breath)?

Qi, and breathing more generally, are crucial concepts in #Chinese and #EastAsian #poetics over 2 millennia.
Books like this should be renamed "A Poetics of Breathing in 20th-century American, British, and German Literature."
