Review: "Korea's premier poet, the former Buddhist monk Ko Un, presents 108 Zen poems. These "thought-stopping Koan-like mental firecrackers" (as Allen Ginsberg called them) let us taste, hear, smell, and see the absurdities and miracles of daily life. Accompanied by Ko Un's own brush-painting illustrations, these small gems offer the gifts of laughter, tears, and insight."--BOOK JACKET.
