Contemporary poet Carl Phillips has written a poem "Undressing for Li Po" that attempts to capture Li Po's spirit in an absurdist situation. It is available in his 1992 collection In the Blood.

Li Po's name is often associated with that of Tu Fu (712—790); not only were they friends, but they are considered two of the greatest poets of China's considerable literary history. Of particular interest to fans of Li Po's life and times is the poem "The Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup." Tu Fu's poetry is available today in the collection Selected Poems of Tu Fu, translated with an introduction by David Hinton.

Paula M. Varsano's Tracking the Banished Mortal: The Poetry of Li Bo and Its Criticism (2003) examines the way that the poet's legend has been built over the centuries.
