A Zen Wave: Basho's Haiku and Zen2 reviews
Matsuo Basho
Shoemaker & Hoard, 2003
An excellent insight into the translation of Zen haiku
A Zen Wave: Basho's Haiku and Zen
This book provides an excellent insight into the editing choices that must be made in translating poetry (in this case Zen haiku) from another language into English. I found the author's discussions and commentary to be compelling and answered many questions that had arisen in my mind concerning the interpretation of Japanese haiku. By providing the Japanese ...

BOY A Story Based On True Events1 review
Outskirts Press, 2007
Spoiler for the book BOY
This book is dedicated to all who devote their lives to helping those less fortunate than themselves. This is a book that explores how even the best intentions can backfire and become a terrible mistake. Boy and Man (his aptly named brother) are modern archetypes for today's flawed and disillusioned mental healthcare recipients. Reading this story will enhance and broaden one's understanding of ...

Zen Attitude 22 reviews
Sujata Massey
Harper Paperbacks, 2005
Simply Captivating
This second in the utterly charming Rei Shimura series is even more delightful--and more addictive--than its wonderful predecessor, "The Salaryman's Wife." In this story, Ms. Shimura has taken some giant strides. She now lives in luxury with her lover, Hugh Glendenning, the Scots lawyer--but as always, her simple Japanese side is at war with her American side over the opulence of their apartment. ...

A unique and amusing perspective for readers of all background and experience levels in the workings of zen

Zen Death Poems And Other Stories may not present the ultimate truth per se, but it will prod the reader to go looking with a smile and a chuckle. Delving into metaphysical mysticism and ...
