Buddhist Poet-Monks in Medieval China with Thomas J. Mazanec

Last week was all about Christian monks, but naturally, there were a whole lot of monks in different traditions across the medieval world. And some of them were even poets. This week, Danièle speaks with Thomas J. Mazanec about the Buddhist poet-monks of medieval China, why they chose to write poetry, and why their art was so controversial.You can support this podcast on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalists
