Poetry. Asian Studies. "Ko Un is a magnificent poet, combination of Buddhist cognoscente, passionate politcal libertarian, and naturalist historian. This little book of Son (Zen) poems gives a glimpse of the severe humorous discipline beneath the prolific variety of his forms & subjects. These excellent translations are models useful to inspire American Contemplative poets" -- Allen Ginsberg. "A big mistake! // Much better / to have turned back at the front gate." ("A Temple's Main Hall") "Ko Un's poems live amid the democracy of all being, looking directly and with great pleasure at this very moment's bright-leaping essence" -- Jane Hirshfield."Not an ounce of Zen posturing here!" -- Norman Fischer. Translated from the Korean by Young-Moo Kim and Brother Anthony.
