Description:

"The Penguin Book of Zen Poetry, jointly translated by a Japanese scholar and an American poet, is the largest and most comprehensive collection of its kind to appear in English. It spans 1.500 years - from the early T'ang dynasty to the present day - and offers Zen poetry in all its diversity: Chinese poems of enlightenment and health, poems of the Japanese masters and many haiku, the quintessential Zen art. Japan's greatest contemporary Zen poet, Shinkichi Takahashi, is also well represented and the volume contains many poems never before rendered into English, as well as numerous examples of Zen painting" --
