陈东甫
宋
Chen Dongfu was a Song dynasty lyricist about whom little biographical information survives. Although only a small number of works are attributed to him, “Flowers Deep, Willows Dim” became known through later anthologies of Song ci. The poem is notable for its compressed form, direct emotional force, and vivid expression of abandonment. Chen Dongfu may not be one of the major canonical figures of Song ci, but this lyric remains a memorable example of the boudoir-resentment tradition.
