 This week poetry club is starting Eighteen Songs of A Nomad Flute, a Tang picture scroll with poems in calligraphy about a Han-dynasty poetess who was bride-abducted in a raid's long, and eventually successful, quest to get home.

Luckily we have a good amount of context for this, in the form of:

1. a book with solid explication of what we're dealing with, poem by poem, and,
2. a lush colour version of the scroll in question, courtesy of the Met's website.
