Book Synopsis The Penguin Book of Zen Poetry by : Lucien Stryk
Book excerpt: The collection spans 1,500 years - from the early T'ang dynasty to the present day - and offers Zen poetry in all its diversity: Chinese poems of enlightenment and death, poems of the Japanese masters, and many haiku, the quintessential Zen art. Japan's greatest contemporary Zen poet, Shinkichi Takahashi, is also well represented. The volume contains many poems never before rendered into English as well as numerious examples of Zen painting.
