β¦ Synopsis
Here is a unique contribution to the field of poetry: a new collection of works by America's foremost Buddhist meditation master, ChΓΆgyam Trungpa. These poems and songs β most of which were written since his arrival in the United States in 1970βcombine a background in classical Tibetan poetry with Trungpa's intuitive insight into the spirit of America, a spirit that is powerfully evoked in his use of colloquial metaphor and contemporary imagery.
Most of the poems were originally written in English β clearly the result of the author's own perceptions of new forms and media offered to him by a different culture. Each poem has its own insight and power, which come from a skillful blend of traditional Asian subtlety and precision combined with a thoroughly modern vernacular. Several of the author's calligraphies accompany the collection.
