I recently finished the Epic of Gilgamesh, and I’m starting a collection of poems by Rumi.
I’ve previously read Cold Mountain by Han Shan.
Are there any other ancient poets/poems with published work that you’d recommend?
I’m looking for things that are:
- Basically as old as possible
- Poetic/mystic
- Not Christian (or Western, Greek, or Roman).
Thanks!
Oh yea I’m working my way through Journey to the West (I’m on the last book). And it’s a blast.
