The delightful and often funny poetry of Zens quintessential free spirit, Master Ryokanin a fresh translation by a beloved American Zen figureRyokan Taigu (17581831) was a monk in the Soto lineage of Japanese Zen who spent a good part of his life as a hermit, writing poetry, playing with children, and creating simple and exquisitely beautiful calligraphiessometimes using twigs as his instrument when he couldn't afford a brush. He was never head of a monastery or temple and as an old man, he fell in love with a young Zen nun who also became his student. His affection for her colors the mature poems of his late period.This loving tribute to the great legendary nonconformist includes more than 140 of his poems, 13 examples of his art, and a selection of laughoutloud funny anecdotes about his highly idiosyncratic teaching behavior.
