Zen Poetry at it's best!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bone of Space: Poems by Zen Master Seung Sahn (Paperback)
This collection of poetry is one of the best published by a living Master. Blending Zen, and the ancient style of teaching through prose, this book is about the 20th Century and not some distant place long ago. Zen Master Seung Sahn's simple style and the 'bone' of the poetry help the reader return to this very moment. For Zen practitioners as well as poetry enthusiasts this will be a tresured possesion as well as an insightful guide to living in this moment.

The poetry is a mishmash of disconnected thoughts written from a child's perspective to followers who only can guess what this is; it is not poetry. I would guess the zen master wrote disengaged and unrelated notes collected over years and transcribed them with short unintelligible bursts of amateurly enlightened pseudointellectualism onto pages for others to gush about. Had a reviewer been knowledgeable, I would have never been bamboozled to purchase. I returned the book.
