Over the past twenty years, Sam Hamill has published over than
thirty volumes of original poetry, essays, and translations of
poetry from classical Chinese, Japanese, Ancient Greek, Latin and
Estonian. As founding editor of Copper Canyon Press, he has made
service to poetry a way of life for nearly a quarter century. But
it is in his poetry, in his passionate, lucid insistence that
poetry is an essential component of enlightenment, that he
distin-guishes himself. "He teaches us" Larry Smith has written in
Small Press, "that the 'Zen' poem is any poem that is truly alive
to the moment." Selecting from among all his published volumes of
poetry except the book-length Triada, and adding over fifty pages
of previously uncollected new work, Hamill brings the poetics of
"engaged Buddhism" face-to-face with a sweeping erudition and
technical virtuosity drawn from eastern and western traditions.
Informed by personal experience as various as building his own home
in the woods of the Olympic Peninsula in the Pacific Northwest,
teaching for thirteen years in prison writing workshops in Alaska,
Washington, and California, teaching in artists-in-education
programmes across America, or his decades-long commitment to
working on behalf of domestic-violence programs, non-violence and
conscientious objection, his poetry is deeply felt and
plain-spoken, at once scholarly and accessible.
