From the National Book Award-winning author of Waiting a narratively driven, deeply human biography of the Tang dynasty poet Li Bai--also known as Li Po In his own time (701-762), Li Bai's poems--shaped by Daoist thought and characterized by their passion, romance, and lust for life--were never given their proper due by the official literary gatekeepers. Nonetheless, his lines rang out on the lips of court entertainers, tavern singers, soldiers, and writers throughout the Tang dynasty, and his deep desire for a higher, more perfect world gave rise to his nickname, the Banished Immortal. Today, Bai's verses are still taught to China's schoolchildren and recited at parties and toasts; they remain an inextricable part of the Chinese language. With the instincts of a master novelist, Ha Jin draws on a wide range of historical and literary sources to weave the great poet's life story. He follows Bai from his origins on the western frontier to his ramblings travels as a young man, which were filled with filled with striving but also with merry abandon, as he raised cups of wine with friends and fellow poets. Ha Jin also takes us through the poet's later years--in which he became swept up in a military rebellion that altered the course of China's history--and the mysterious circumstances of his death, which are surrounded by legend.The Banished Immortal is an extraordinary portrait of a poet who both transcended his time and was shaped by it, and whose ability to live, love, and mourn without reservation produced some of the most enduring verses.

Recommended for Seniors, Not for Chewers
Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Pork Sausage
My 12lb dog loves Playology toys because of the long-lasting scent that's stimulating for her (even though I can't detect the smell). I got this toy because I wanted to add a different texture to her toy bin since most of her toys are rope & plush. Unfortunately, after only 10 minutes of playing with this toy, she managed to tear the pieces of the rubber off and I had to take it away so she doesn't choke on the pieces that were breaking off. Now I see why this toy's recommended for senior dogs. Definitely not recommended for active dogs or heavy chewers.

My pup absolutely loves it and it's helping him with teething. It doesn't break off in a bunch of big pieces, just tiny pieces. He spits out the little pieces thankfully! Very well made and smells appetizing to dogs! It definitely helps clean his teeth & the rest of his mouth!

Peanut butter flavored only -
I have bought several of these bones in the past. All my previous purchases were the bacon flavored and we loved them. They gave my dog hours of chewing pleasure with no mess. My most recent purchase was the peanut butter flavored bone, it is a mess; with little to no effort it breaks in to small crumbly pieces and creates a huge mess. In less than 24 hours there is little left but the mess. I threw the remainder away!

My puppy loves this bone and it lasts a long time.
My puppy enjoys chewing this sturdy bone. I worry about him ingesting the wood, but he seems fine.
