Summary: Peter Levitt loves what he does. That is so clear from the way he shares the stories and works of Li Ye, Xue Tao, and Yu Xuanji, three Daoist women poets of the Tang Dynasty, whose writing he and Rebecca Nie have translated into English in their new book Yin Mountain: The Immortal Poetry of Three Daoist Women. He offers insight into the contexts in which these extraordinary women lived, goddess culture, the symbolism of Yin Mountain, and then reads several pieces of each of the three women’s poetry. We are very fortunate to have a window into these women’s minds, hearts, and craft. Peter sheds light on how brilliant and brave they were and how relevant their work is 1500 years later in our context.<br>
