Overview

Breaths is a poetic exploration of Budo (the Japanese martial arts) and Zen. It delves into the relationship between these two traditions and projects their spirit onto the textures of everyday life. The poems balance action, energy, meditation, and contemplation on how to live attentively and actively in the world. Accompanied by Yoshiko Shimano's eloquent prints, these poems will energize and captivate readers while inviting them to seek their own paths to illumination.
