Download or read book Waltzing Under the Buddah s Smile written by R. Monk and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is great lyric poetry. Why? Because it profoundly moves one via the deep, verities of human-being. Embrace of the varieties of love, of death, fury at war, evil and horrific abuse; in wrenchingly evocative images via the richest prosody. High poetry. Song. I feel virtually sanctified having read this. This is canonical poetry, poetry that changes your life." STEVE GOLDMAN, author of THE CANON OF THE LONE RANGER "A lifetime of quiet work becomes audible in this superb collection. WALTZING UNDER THE BUDDHA'S SMILE deserves a spot on the shelf of contemporary poets whose best efforts will still be worth reading in mid-century." BILL MOHR, author of HOLDOUTS: The Los Angeles Poetry Renaissance, 1948-1992

Download or read book Silently She Burns and Other Poems written by Rajendra Nagdeve and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of the poems contained in this book is humanity. They speak about the ills - superstitions, social stratification, etc. - inherited from the past. They manifest the gloom of the present-day world, the craving for peace, and sometimes call for total demolition to set the stage for the birth of a new world order - a warless, peaceful world. In the Indian context, the poems advocate logical, rational, and scientific approaches to issues. The poems stress upon equality, justice, and fraternity to bring about the desired changes. Poems like ‘Night Falls’ and ‘Platform’ paint the picture of metro city life and the impact of urbanisation on rural and tribal areas. The poet’s fascination for ruins is reflected in some poems. It is more the mystique surrealism than the history of ruins that impresses him. The poems on nature are not the photographic narration of beauty. They contain harsh realities of the nature too, as in the poem, ‘Over Bhuj on Twelfth February’. ‘Silently She Burns’ and ‘Home Coming’ express the most delicate emotions of the human heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Emperor's Parrot inanimate objects and natural phenomena are given a voice in a very contemporary Aesopian manner in which metaphorisation is subverted from ornamental applications. Cultural politics and the politics of culture seem to lie under these poems in much the same way that they may be subtexts to fables such as The Emperor's New Clothes. Fable was and is a narrative mode of disguise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The relations between eastern and western cultures have long been a neglected topic, and this careful and intelligent look at a small but significant part of those relations is most welcome."--Thomas McEvilley, author of The Shape of Ancient Thought "How wonderful that Jacquelynn Baas has seen the light of the Buddha's smile shining from faraway Asia into the realm of the art of modern times in what we think of as the West! . . . Her work reveals how some of our most influential artists explored and expressed the sophisticated perceptions and joyful energy emanating from the realm of Buddhist Asia."--Robert A. F. Thurman "As a Buddhist scholar and artist I welcome this thoughtful and richly detailed study of how many aspects of Buddhism have stimulated, invigorated, and enriched Western arts over the past 150 years."--Stephen Addiss, author of The Art of Zen "A crucial contribution to modern art studies, this high-spirited text surveys Western artists awakened by the wisdom of the East, from Monet and Duchamp to O'Keeffe to Martin. It is a thoughtful book about thoughtful artists, their values and their visions, with a lot to offer general readers and specialists alike."--Charles Stuckey, Associate Professor of Art History at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Download or read book Laughing Buddha Weeping Sufi Poems written by Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2005 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps."(William Blake) A cooly impassioned, and "pathward" adventurous series of poems joining two modes of enlightenment, Buddhist and Sufi, that may in many ways be parallel-from my sitting with saintly Shunryu Suzuki of the San Francisco Zen Center in the early 60s, and my blessed time with Qutb Shaykh ibn al-Habib of Fez in Meknes, Morocco, in the 1970s, may Allah be pleased with both of them. Are the two protagonists of these poems the main characters in Waiting for Godot, now no longer waiting, but there? Exalted humor lightens our spiritual endeavors.
Download or read book The First Free Women written by Matty Weingast and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Ancient Collection Reimagined Composed around the Buddha’s lifetime, the Therigatha (“Verses of the Elder Nuns”) contains the poems of the first Buddhist women: princesses and courtesans, tired wives of arranged marriages and the desperately in love, those born into limitless wealth and those born with nothing at all. The original authors of the Therigatha were women from every kind of background, but they all shared a deep-seated desire for awakening and liberation. In The First Free Women, Matty Weingast has reimagined this ancient collection and created a contemporary and radical adaptation that takes the essence of each poem and highlights the struggles and doubts, as well as the strength, perseverance, and profound compassion, embodied by these courageous women.
