 Good
seeing you at Myogen's Mtn Seat Ceremony
What's new? I've just launched a new book, 185 brief poems by Ko Un,
Flowers of a Moment.
The inaugural reading (app. 20 minutes) at Moe's Books is
online.
Here's the book's
web page.
[Here's the
Amazon.com link - DC]
Flowers of a Moment has been
nominated for a Northern California Book Award in translation (as was
previous Ko Un title I'd worked on, Ten
Thousand Lives, from the magnum opus he's been working, devoted to
one poem for every person he's ever known).
The awards ceremony will be the same date and time as a haiku workshop
I'll be leading one block away:
The Spring Wind in the
Bamboo

Well, I'm off to facilitate mindfulness meditation at the Church for the

Please keep me posted as to your doings, and keep well.
