Información de la editorial

Hungry to explore Zen and make the discoveries that would shape a lifetime of poetry, Joanne Kyger left for Japan in her twenties and returned four years later ready to carve out a substantial niche in San Francisco's Beat poetry movement. Whether she is studying under Zen teacher Ruth Fuller Sakaki or meeting with the Dalai Lama (who at 27 "lounged on a velvet couch like a gawky adolescent in red robes"), her journals are witty, amusing, and intelligent, in this fascinating look at the art of poetry and portrait of the counterculture abroad.

Reseñas en medios

"Kyger is 'self' conscious enough to laugh at herself. She never stoops to sentimentalizing, never drifts into writing-as-therapy, as so much current 'journaling' does. Yet the writing of these pages is her salvation."
—Anne Waldman, from the Foreword

"Her journals chronicle what it meant to be a woman trying to write in those pre-feminist beat days, when men were the ones designated as spiritual and creative. Kyger has a sharp wit and a sharper eye."
—Miriam Sagan
