Shinkichi Takahashi is one of the truly great figures in world
poetry. In the classic Zen tradition of economy, disciplined
attention, and subtlety, Takahashi lucidly captures that which is
contemporary in its problems and experiences, yet classic in its
quest for unity with the Absolute. Lucien Stryk, Takahashi's fellow
poet and close friend, here presents Takahashi's complete body of
Zen poems in an English translation that conveys the grace and
power of Takahashi's superb art. "A first-rate poet . . .
[Takahashi] springs out of some crack between ordinary worlds: that
is, there is some genuine madness of the sort striven for in Zen."
-- Robert Bly; "We visit places in Takahashi that we once may have
visited in a dream, or in a moment too startling to record the
perception. . . . You need know nothing of Zen to become immersed
in his work. You will inevitably know something of Zen when you
emerge." -- Jim Harrison, American Poetry Review
