Mad Monk Ikkyu

John Guzlowski

4.9/5 (34195 ratings)

Description:At first, John Guzlowski's Ikkyū reminded me of Thomas Merton's The Way of Chuang Tzu. But Guzlowski broke away from the tradition of Western poets translating Asian texts. These Ikkyū poems were not originally written by the great Japanese Buddhist monk; rather, they were playfully invented, forged by the vast and imaginative mind of Guzlowski. Like any Zen text, Guzlowski's Ikkyū is a journey into contradictions, where laughter and sadness commingle, where meaning is embedded in meaninglessness, where sound is found in silence, where from winter comes spring which is followed by fall. There is both simplicity and depth in this little book. And in the center of it, the life force of these poems, is the still point, one that we desperately need in our chaotic world of strife, confusion, and ignorance.-Bunkong Tuon, writer and critic at Union CollegeWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
