Zen Poems Edited by Peter Harris

The appreciation of Zen philosophy and art has become universal, and Zen poetry, with its simple expression of direct, intuitive insight and sudden enlightenment, appeals to lovers of poetry, spirituality and beauty everywhere. This collection of translations of the classical Zen poets of China, Japan and Korea includes the work of Zen practitioners and monks as well as scholars, artists, travellers and recluses, ranging from Wang Wei, Hanshan and Yang Wanli, to Shinkei, Basho and Ryokan.
