Astonishing Quest,
By A Customer
This review is from: Western Swing: Adventures With the Heretical Buddha (Paperback)
This is an astonishing long poem, comparable only to Ed Dorn's 'Gunslinger'. It's a Quest poem, in this case for a healing blade. The characters are fragmented pieces of a whole person, plus a mysterious and mischevious Buddha (also known as 'The Bear' and the reader. It's hilarious, lyrical, ridiculous, serious. Set in Scotland, Kathmundu, Cambridge and Morocco, with things to say about all of them. And have fun spotting the many many quotations and misquotations buried in the text - what the author calls 'sampling'. I tell you, this book is as much fun as poetry gets!
