Portrait of 罗邺

About the author

Luo Ye was a Tang dynasty poet whose dates of birth and death and place of origin are unknown, and available public information about him is limited. He is grouped with Luo Yin and Luo Qiu as the "Three Luos," a connection reflected in the collected volume Three Luos' Poetry included here, which shows that his works often circulated alongside those of poets of the same clan. Extant pieces such as "Offered to Attendant Guo of Pengmen" and "Autumn Farewell to Monk Yichu" are mostly occasional poems of presentation, reply, and parting, dealing with literati exchange and everyday travel. His style is clear and understated, skilled at conveying feeling through autumn scenery and farewell settings. Because historical records are scarce, his life cannot be examined in detail, and his works survive mainly through poetry collections and anthologies; modern readers approach them through literary appreciation and the study of classical verse. Though few in number, they offer some reference for understanding late Tang poetry.
