John Cage was among the first wave of post-war American artists and
intellectuals to be influenced by Zen Buddhism and it was an
influence that led him to become profoundly engaged with our
current ecological crisis. In John Cage and Buddhist Ecopoetics,
Peter Jaeger asks: what did Buddhism mean to Cage? And how did his
understanding of Buddhist philosophy impact on his representation
of nature? Following Cage's own creative innovations in the
poem-essay form and his use of the ancient Chinese text, the I
Ching to shape his music and writing, this book outlines a new
critical language that reconfigures writing and silence.
Interrogating Cage's 'green-Zen' in the light of contemporary
psychoanalysis and cultural critique as well as his own later turn
towards anarchist politics, John Cage and Buddhist Ecopoetics
provides readers with a critically performative site for the
Zen-inspired "nothing" which resides at the heart of Cage's
poetics, and which so clearly intersects with his ecological
writing.
