“Part travelogue, part literary history, and part spiritual journey … His quest to find Han Shan’s cave is a delight from beginning to end. ”—Chase Twichell, author of Horses Where the Answers Should Have Been

In this transformative book, award-winning poet and essayist James Lenfestey makes an epic journey across the world to find the Cold Mountain Cave, a location long believed to exist only in myths and the ancient home of his idol, Han Shan, author of the Cold Mountain poems. Lenfestey’s voyage takes him from the Midwestern United States to Tokyo to a road trip across the expanse of China with frequent excursions to the country’s rich historical and cultural landmarks. As he makes his way to the cave, Lenfestey learns more than history or geography; he discovers his identity as a writer and a poet. Interspersed with poems by both the author and Han Shan, Seeking the Cave will appeal to lovers of poetry and travel narrative alike.

“A lively account of Lenfestey’s trip to China … It unites our brief literary life with the ancient richness of Chinese culture. ”—Robert Bly, New York Times bestselling author

“A profound, and profoundly personal book. It’s very captivating, warm and friendly, personal, unguarded, idiosyncratic, pointed but also finally apolitical, and eminently charming. ”—Gary Snyder, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet

“His lighthearted approach, poet’s attention to detail and genuine passion for the poems of Han-shan bring the narrative far beyond essential archetypes of the Far East. ”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

“A poetry-infused memoir … The story of his outer and inner journeys is frank, charming, funny, moving and wise. ”—Greenfield Recorder
