Slender Volumes

Richard von Sturmer

$38.00

Slender Volumes locates the cypress trees of Buddhist folklore in Aotearoa and the teachings of the Zen tradition along its foreshores. Elaborating on kōans collected by poet-philosopher Eihei Dōgen, each poem fastens together centuries and distances to find insight in everyday things: seagulls on a handrail, insects drinking from a pan of water, sump oil glistening in a white bucket. Clear-sighted and compassionate, Slender Volumes recovers what it means to be intimate with our surroundings and to meet the particulars of our world with perfect curiosity.
