A Zen poem is nothing other than an expression of the enlightened
mind, a handful of simple words that disappear beneath the moment
of insight to which it bears witness. Poetry has been an essential
aid to Zen Buddhist practice from the dawn of Zen--and Zen has also
had a profound influence on the secular poetry of the countries in
which it has flourished. Here, two of America's most renowned poets
and translators provide an overview of Zen poetry from China and
Japan in all its rich variety, from the earliest days to the
twentieth century. Included are works by Lao Tzu, Han Shan, Li Po,
Dogen Kigen, Saigyo, Basho, Chiao Jan, Yuan Mei, Ryokan, and many
others. Hamill and Seaton provide illuminating introductions to the
Chinese and Japanese sections that set the poets and their work in
historical and philosophical context. Short biographies of the
poets are also included.
