From the Author
Generation by generation, the cool slang of American youth.
For the two years that I worked on this book, I immersed myself in 20th century American youth culture. I track youth slang decade by decade, splitting the 1950's and 1960's into mainstream and counterculture. Surprises abound - the strong appearance of "groovy" in the 1940's, the consistent and pervasive influence of African-American slang on youth slang beginning in the 1930's, the striking similarities between the speech of the sub-deb of 1942 and the Valley Girl of 1982, the impact of AM disc jockeys in the 1960's, and the continuing evolution of hip from 1904 to the present. Throughout, the spirit of youth shines through.
Synopsis
Covers the use of slang by young people decade by decade and defines such words as "pastry snake" and "dumpster diving".

Paperback. Condition: Good. If a Mountain Lion Could Sing stands as the first major English translation of poems written by China's greatest lyric poet, Xin Qiji.Red Pine gathers and translates over 100 poems by China's greatest lyric poet, Xin Qiji, in his latest bilingual collection, If a Mountain Lion Could Sing. Visiting the very places where Xin composed his stanzas--the cassia trees of the Wu River, houseboats along the Yangzi, mountain monasteries--and paying respects at the poet's grave, Red Pine makes a spiritual and physical exercise of translation. In his skilled hands, we see the unique, multifaceted nature of Xin unfold--rebel warrior, patriot, human. Political themes and ideas of intimacy cross paths, moving between the voices of statesman and lover. Written over 800 years ago, and to melodies since lost, Xin's verses still leap across centuries to relay the universal concepts of solitude, duty, youth, aging, and nostalgia. Though true mirrors are hard to come by, Xin's poems serve as haunting reflections of a man whose voice of heroic abandon still resonates today. Seller Inventory # 00105989764
