Zen Poems | Peter Harris
4 posts | 1 read | 9 to read
The appreciation of Zen philosophy and art has become universal, and Zen poetry, with its simple expression of direct, intuitive insight and sudden enlightenment, appeals to lovers of poetry, spirituality, and beauty everywhere. This collection of translations of the classical Zen poets of China, Japan and Korea includes the work of Zen practioners and monks as well as scholars, artists, travellers and recluses, and covers fifteen centuries of Oriental literature with poets ranging from Xie Lingyun (5th century) through Wang Wei and Hanshan (8th century) and Yang Wan-li (12th century) to Shinkei (15th) Basho (17th) and Ryokan (19th).

I unfolded the dust jacket flap in this photo because it was easier than writing bits of the book description. What I can say is I loved the strong images of white clouds, mountains, lakes, autumn moss, dawn colors, and moonlight, to name a few, and I appreciated being in those moments with the poets. Really lovely moments of both solitude and awareness. This was a nice introduction to zen poetry and I‘ll be returning to it and other collections.

vivastory I'll have to look into this. I love Zen poetry, especially Ikkyu 4y
Palimpsest @vivastory any recommendations? The only other book I have is One Hundred Leaves.

Tasty Sunday night zen poems....I love the Everyman Pocket Poet series. So small and perfect. Well selected and curated. I'm trying to collect as many as I can. Good things come in small poetry books. Wilson agrees!
