Li Po (A.D., 701-762) lived in T'ang Dynasty China, but his influence has spanned the centuries: the pure lyricism of his poems has awed readers in China and Japan for over a millennium, and through Ezra Pound's translations, Li Po became central to the modernist revolution in the West. His work is suffused with Taoism and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism, but these seem not so much spiritual influences as the inborn form of his life.There is a set-phrase in Chinese referring to the phenomenon of Li Po: "Winds of the immortals, bones of the Tao."

However ethereal in spirit, his poems remain grounded in the everyday experience we all share. He wrote 1200 years ago, half a world away, but in his poems we see our world transformed.

"The story of a King who was bitten in his nightmare and cursed by a spider, and the heroes and villains who worked together to lift the curse and vanquish the spider forever, and all the great feats and deeds of arms that happened in between.”"The King desired adventure; I could give it to him. He wanted to vanquish imaginary foes in his sleep. That was possible. He wanted to visit the land of Nür, where gods were born. I would take him there. In retrospect, I was merely granting the king’s own wishes and helping him realize his greatest dream: to live in an imaginary world where there was constantly something interesting to do, where there was always something grandiose to achieve, where there was always a cause to uphold, and people who needed to be saved." -Mad Glare, Author of the World's Troubles(K:TOD is a reference book for Fall of the Minotaur King, The Zombie Princess and upcoming DOOMED TO PREVAIL books by Dave Devine.)

The authorised transcript of the now famous (or infamous) 'Interview with God'The authorised transcript of the now famous (or infamous) 'Interview with God' TV personality Howard Ayno:"Of course not! Don't you even begin to believe it! No waywas it God I interviewed that night! I quizzed a man posing as God, pretendingto be God, who might maybe have even THOUGHT he was God, or hoped he was God,or wished he was God. But would God dress like that? I am glad to say from therage of comments that arose out of the religious furore following thatbroadcast, hardly anyone of any quality or reputation (apart from the oddbishop or equally nutty professor) thought otherwise than that I was speakingthat night to a fraud and a charlatan, a sincere fraud maybe and a well-meaningcharlatan perhaps, but believe me more fake than Father Christmas's snowy whitewhiskers."
