Synopsis After Ikkyu and Other Poems by : Jim Harrison
A spirited collection of poems inspired by the Zen practice of one of America's most celebrated authors, Jim Harrison, a New York Times best-selling author. The popular novels of Jim Harrison (1937–2016) represent only part of his literary output—he was also widely acclaimed for the “renegade genius” of his powerful, expressive poems. After Ikkyū is the first collection of Harrison’s poetry directly inspired by his many years of Zen practice. The writing here is at once thought-provoking and passionate, immortalizing a celebrated American writer’s relationship to Zen in beautiful verse. These short, spirited poems will inspire you to look at life differently with a newfound sense of wonder and gratitude for everyday moments.

Synopsis Ikkyū and the Crazy Cloud Anthology by : Sonja Arntzen
Arntzen's classic study and select translation of the Japanese medieval Zen poetry Crazy Cloud Anthology (Kyōunshū 狂雲集) by the Buddhist monk Ikkyū 一休 (1394-1481) is a carefully revised edition of the 1986 University of Tokyo Press edition which was issued as part of the Japanese series of the UNESCO collection of representative works. This Quirin Press Edition offers the following features: - Fully revised, updated, and expanded by the author. - Contains additional selected poems from Ikkyū's 一休 Kyōunshū 狂雲集 with text in Chinese script, and Japanese kundoku reading in Romanization. - Carefully typeset and proofed for typographical errors and inconsistencies. - Includes a new Preface and Afterword. Keywords: Zen poetry, Japanese -- Translations into English. Ikkyū 一休, 1394-1481. Buddhist monks -- Japan. Ikkyū Sōjun 一休宗純 (1394-1481), Zen monk and poet, is an unconventional figure in Japanese literary history. An eccentric personality, he raged at the corruption and hypocrisy of the wealthy Zen monastic system of his day. Defiantly living outside that institution for much of his life, his community included artists, actors, and women entertainers/ brothel girls. Many of his poems have sexual desire at their core, engaging with it as a kōan. Authentic Zen master as well as sensual lyricist, Ikkyū created some of the most original poetry in the entire Zen tradition. Translations from the Crazy Cloud Anthology, or Kyōunshū 狂雲集, Ikkyū's major collection of poetry in literary Chinese, form the core of this work. Ikkyū's biography and historical context of medieval Japan are outlined in the first part of the introduction. The analysis sections provide a portal for the reader to enter the world of the poems by demonstrating how Ikkyū's poetry produces experiences of Zen most often through the dialectical use of allusion. Ikkyū's non-conformism in response to a troubled, uncertain time will strike a sympathetic chord in the modern reader. Students of Japanese literature and religion, culture and history will find Ikkyū an engaging figure. And lovers of poetry will be inspired by his candour and free spirit. Originally published by University of Tokyo Press in 1986 as part of the Japanese series of the UNESCO collection of representative works, the present Quirin Press edition both augments and revises this seminal exploration of Ikkyū's key poetic output.

Synopsis Letters to Yesenin by : Jim Harrison
Sergei Yesenin was a Russian poet who, in 1925, hanged himself after writing his farewell poem in blood. Jim Harrison's "correspondence" with Yesenin is an American masterwork. In the early 1970s, Harrison was living in poverty on a hard-scrabble farm, suffering from depression and suicidal urges. He began to write daily prose-poem letters to Yesenin, confiding to his unlikely friend about sex, drunkenness, family, politics - about living for another day. Although "the rope" remained ever present, Harrison listened to his poems: "My year-old daughter's red robe hangs from the doorknob shouting Stop."

Synopsis The Theory and Practice of Rivers by : Jim Harrison
Filled with "moving water" and intuitive leaps, The Theory and Practice of Rivers is an elegy for Harrison's sixteen-year-old niece. This new edition of The Theory and Practice of Rivers, by Jim Harrison, returns to print--as a stand-alone volume--a classic poetry title. In a heartfelt and powerful introduction, Rebecca Solnit calls this collection both elegy (inspired by the death of his sixteen-year-old niece) and "loose memoir" (filled with language that leaps intuitively across subjects, recalling various experiences, place, and memories). Beautifully adrift in the long poem sequence seated at the heart of this book, The Theory and Practice of Rivers is filled with "moving water, the search for consolation and meaning in the sublime rightness of wild landscape" (Outside). Harrison speaks to the rivers and leaps in all of us, leaving us profoundly changed.
