Lyric sustains by renewal. Some renewal comes from within, when a culture surges ahead, some again when a culture clashes with another culture. This book narrates both.

 

Distinctive for its variety of approach, this volume features a truly international and multicultural authorship, and encompasses an extraordinary range of lyric conception and practice– Chinese, Greek, Indian, Japanese and Korean.

Founder chairman of the Committee on Intercultural Studies, he has taught, amongst other places, at Williams College, and UCLA.
